Indexing Individual Pages

To add an individual HTML page to the database, but don't go after any of its references or any others that may be in the todo list:

gw -g -a http://www.mysite.com/special.html

This will quickly and immediately add a single page to the database without having to go through the todo list and without storing any refs on the page. To allow addition of refs on the page to the todo list, remove the -a option.

Normally if you were to not use the -g option the page would go into the todo list and everything in the todo list would be processed. That would be fine if the todo list was empty, but if the last walk was interrupted or still in progress there would be other things in the todo list and gw would begin processing those.
