This program needs three filenames as command line parameters.  The -i flag\n\
is used to specify the input filename. The -o flag specifies the file where\n\
where the good links will be written.  The -b flag specifies the file where\n\
the bad links are written.  The optional flag --no-redirs can be used to\n\
disallow web-site redirection, which will catch when the site has changed\n\
its location.  Note that redirection is not necessarily an error, but it\n\
instead may just be a link that needs its URL modified.  It is recommended\n\
that you omit this flag in early runs, in order to only locate definitely\n\
dead links.  Then later checking runs can find any sites that were redirected\n\
or being routed to a dead link page which doesn't provide an error code.\n\
The optional flag --threads with a parameter will set the maximum number of\n\
threads that will simultaneously check on links.\n\
The input file is expected to be in the HOOPLE link database format.\n\
The HOOPLE link format is documented here:\n\
