Simple script to automate production of sitemaps for a webserver

Usage

google-sitemapgen [--testing] [--help] [--config=config.xml]

Overview

This manual page documents briefly the google-sitemapgen command.

This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

google-sitemapgen is a program that automatically produces sitemaps for a webserver, in the Google Sitemap Protocol (GSP). Sitemap files are XML listings of content you make available on your web server. The files can be directly submitted to search engines as hints for the search engine web crawlers as they index your web site. This can result in better coverage of your web content in search engine indices, and less of your bandwidth spent doing it.

Options

--config=config.xml

Specify the location of the configuration config.xml

--testing

Used to test the sitemap generator configuration.

--help
