  ## Synopsis

  htload [options]

  ## Description

  Htload reads in an ASCII-text version of the document and word databases in the same form as the -t option of htdig and htdump. Note that this will overwrite data in your databases, so this should be used with great care.

  ## Options

  -a
    Use alternate work files. Tells htload to append .work to database files, allowing it to operate on a second set of databases.
  -c configfile
    Use the specified configfile file instead of the default.
  -d
    Do not load the document database.
  -v
    Verbose mode. This doesn't have much effect.
  -w
    Do not load the word database.

  ## File Formats

### Document Database

  Each line in the file starts with the document id followed by a list of fieldname:value separated by tabs. The fields always appear in the order listed below:

  fieldname | value
  --- | ---
  u | URL
  t | Title
  a | State (0 = normal, 1 = not found, 2 = not indexed, 3 = obsolete)
  m | Last modification time as reported by the server
  s | Size in bytes
  H | Excerpt
  h | Meta description
  l | Time of last retrieval
  L | Count of the links in the document (outgoing links)
  b | Count of the links to the document (incoming links or backlinks)
  c | HopCount of this document
  g | Signature of the document used for duplicate-detection
  e | E-mail address to use for a notification message from htnotify
  n | Date to send out a notification e-mail message
  S | Subject for a notification e-mail message
  d | The text of links pointing to this document. (e.g. <a href="docURL">description</a>)
  A | Anchors in the document (i.e. <A NAME=...)

### Word Database

  The first line of the ASCII word database is a comment, prefixed with '#' and specifies the columns of the file separated by tabs. The fields are:

  > word
  > document id
  > flags
  > location
  > anchor
