Name

htmlsync - responsible for generating Web page previews.

Synopsis

htmlsync [ -v ] [ -d dblev | -D ] [ -fidFileID ] [ -volflagsflags ] [ -nopreviews ] [ -nolinks ] [ -notext ] [ -config path to XML-config file ] [ filename ]

Description

The htmlsync (1M) program is responsible for generation of Web page previews. It calls browcapt (1M) , requesting that it generate a given number of JPEG screen captures at a specified interval. Then, htmlsync (1M) discards blank and duplicate images, storing the unique ones in the database.

When files use the htm or html extension, htmlsync (1M) will add locally-linked resources such as images, JavaScript files and HTML pages to the spreadlink table in the WebNative Suite database, thus making these resources viewable through WebNative Portal and the mview CGI. For example, if an HTML file which contained <img src="MyCompany/logo.jpg"> were to reside inside /FPAssets/MainWebPage , and, if the file logo.jpg resided in the directory /FPAsset/MainWebPage/MyCompany , htmlsync (1M) would place this link in the spreadlink table, making the asset viewable through WebNative Portal and mview .

The htmlsync (1M) program will also extract textual information from Web pages that have htm or html extensions.
