# grink
Grink is a tool to find and check web links in text files (for example, Markdown source files). It “greps links”, if you will.
### Installation
```sh
cargo install grink
```
### Usage
Grink reads all the files you specify, extracts anything that looks like a URL, and checks if it returns an OK status, reporting the error otherwise.
```sh
grink book/*.md
```
```txt
[ERROR] (HTTP status client error (404 Not Found) for url (https://example.com/bogus)) https://example.com/bogus - referrer: book/chapter1.md
Links: 8 (7 OK, 1 errors, 0 warnings)
```
