## Burrow-The-Burrows
|
||||
|
||||
A Gopher burrower in a shell script. By using `burrow` and a bit of
|
||||
plumbing you can get all the links in a Gopher MENU, recursively visit
|
||||
all the available subdirs, and create a directed graph of the visited
|
||||
selectors.
|
||||
|
||||
`burrow` takes as input a gopher identifier, as generated by
|
||||
`url_to_id`, which is considered a gophermap, and provides on stdout the
|
||||
list of menu selectors found in that document. `burrow` will also dump
|
||||
on stderr the list of all the edges (to any kind of selector) found in
|
||||
that page, in the format:
|
||||
|
||||
src_SHA256 dst_SHA256
|
||||
|
||||
where `src_SHA256` is the SHA256 of the source selector (the current
|
||||
document), while `dst_SHA256` is the destination selector (the pointed
|
||||
document).
|
||||
|
||||
To start a crawl, one can do something like:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ ./url_to_id gopher://your.gopher.url/ > ids
|
||||
$ tail -f ids | parallel -j2 './burrow {}' 2>> graph.txt | tee -a ids >/dev/null &
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Notice that `burrow` will create a certain number of folders in the
|
||||
current directory, used to keep track of the selectors that have been
|
||||
already retrieved.
