.SH DESCRIPTION
Something like \f[B]wget\f[R](1) for downloading a file from MediaWiki
sites (like Wikipedia or Wikimedia Commons) using only the file name or
the URL of its description page.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
\f[I]FILE\f[R]
The file to be downloaded.
If \f[I]FILE\f[R] is in the form \f[I]File:Example.jpg\f[R] or
\f[I]Image:Example.jpg\f[R], it will be fetched from the default site,
which is \[lq]commons.wikimedia.org\[rq].
If it\[cq]s the fully-qualified URL of a file description page, like
\f[I]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Example.jpg\f[R], the file is
fetched from the site in the URL, in this case
\[lq]en.wikipedia.org\[rq].
.TP
\f[I]BATCHFILE\f[R]
In batch download mode (activated with -\f[B]a\f[R] or
--\f[B]batch\f[R]), this is a text file containing multiple file names
or URLs to be downloaded, one per line.
Blank lines and lines starting with \[lq]#\[rq] are ignored.
If an error is encountered during download, execution stops immediately
and the offending filename is printed.
.TP
-\f[B]s\f[R], --\f[B]site\f[R] \f[I]SITE\f[R]
MediaWiki site to download from.
Will not have any effect if the full URL is given in the \f[I]FILE\f[R]
parameter.
.TP
-\f[B]P\f[R], --\f[B]path\f[R] \f[I]PATH\f[R]
Script path for the wiki, where \[lq]index.php\[rq] and
\[lq]api.php\[rq] live.
On Wikimedia sites, it\[cq]s \[lq]/w/\[rq], the default, but other sites
may use \[lq]/\[rq] or something else entirely.
.TP
-\f[B]u\f[R], --\f[B]username\f[R] \f[I]USERNAME\f[R]
Username for private wikis that require a login even for read access.
.TP
-\f[B]p\f[R], --\f[B]password\f[R] \f[I]PASSWORD\f[R]
Password for private wikis that require a login even for read access.
.TP
-\f[B]o\f[R], --\f[B]output\f[R] \f[I]OUTPUT\f[R]
By default, the output filename is the same as the remote filename
(without the File: or Image: prefix), but this can be changed with this
option.
.TP
-\f[B]l\f[R], --\f[B]logfile\f[R] \f[I]LOGFILE\f[R]
Specify a logfile, which will contain detailed information about the
download process.
If the logfile already exists, new log information is appended to it.
.TP
-\f[B]f\f[R], --\f[B]force\f[R]
Force existing files to be overwritten.
.TP
-\f[B]a\f[R], --\f[B]batch\f[R]
If this flag is set, \f[B]wikiget\f[R] will run in batch download mode
(see \f[I]BATCHFILE\f[R]).
.TP
-\f[B]j\f[R], --\f[B]threads\f[R]
Number of parallel downloads to attempt in batch mode.
This option has no effect if -\f[B]a\f[R] is not also set.
.TP
-\f[B]v\f[R], --\f[B]verbose\f[R]
Print additional information, such as the site used and the full URL of
the file.
Additional invocations will increase the level of detail.
.TP
-\f[B]q\f[R], --\f[B]quiet\f[R]
Silence warnings and minimize printed output.
.TP
-\f[B]V\f[R], --\f[B]version\f[R]
Print the version number of the program.
.TP
-\f[B]h\f[R], --\f[B]help\f[R]
Print a brief summary of these options.
