1 2.3 Basic Startup Options
1 =========================
1
1 ‘-V’
1 ‘--version’
1 Display the version of Wget.

1 ‘-h’
1 ‘--help’
1 Print a help message describing all of Wget’s command-line options.
1
1 ‘-b’
1 ‘--background’
1 Go to background immediately after startup. If no output file is
1 specified via the ‘-o’, output is redirected to ‘wget-log’.

1 ‘-e COMMAND’
1 ‘--execute COMMAND’
11 Execute COMMAND as if it were a part of ‘.wgetrc’ (⇒Startup
File). A command thus invoked will be executed _after_ the
1 commands in ‘.wgetrc’, thus taking precedence over them. If you
1 need to specify more than one wgetrc command, use multiple
1 instances of ‘-e’.
