I’m about to get on a plane and thought it would be quite fitting to play around with Google Gears while I’m airborne. I know I’ll need to consult the API reference often, so I just wanted to download the whole thing and view it offline. Here’s how you can download the Google Gears documentation for offline viewing:
wget -r -np -k -c
http://code.google.com/apis/gears/design.html
What’s going on here:
- wget
- your friendly neighborhood command line HTTP tool (some people prefer curl)
- -r
- Recursively download web site by following links.
- -np
- No parent: do not follow links to parent directories. Without this parameter we would get most of the API section on Google Code.
- -k
- Convert links for offline viewing.
- -c
- Continue download where we left off in case of interrupted connection.
