/*** crawler.h ****************************************************/
/* description: html crawler */
/********************************************************************
The crawler scans html pages and the links in those pages to a specified
depth in a breadth first manner, optionally caching them in an external cache.
Items are crawled sequentially - an item must finish being crawled or cached
before the next item is crawled. Multiple instances of the crawler may be running
at the same time.
Depth = 1 means that only the initial page, and any images and resources that
it contains, are cached.
Depth = n means that the crawler will crawl to n levels deep. Assuming the
maximum cache size is sufficient, the crawler will cache images and resources
for each page it encounters. Normally, resources are cached after all the pages
for a given level have been processed, but some resources are considered "required",
meaning they will be cached immediately after the page containing them has been
processed. An example of a "required" resource is a stylesheet.
The crawler obeys the robots.txt directives on a site, which may allow or deny access
to specific urls or directories. The robots.txt file is by convention at the top level
of a site.
The type of links that are crawled are determined in pagescan.c.
The parsing code is in htmparse.c
The robots.txt parser is in robotxt.c

NSPR_BEGIN_EXTERN_C
/*
Creates a crawler which may be used for one crawling request. Subsequent requests
to crawl urls should use a separate crawler instance. Returns NULL if not enough
memory is available, or the depth is less than 1.
Parameters:
context - needed by netlib (the crawler does not check this parameter)
siteName - url of the site
stayInSite - whether to restrict crawling to the site named.
manageCache - whether to maintain a local file describing the cache contents.
If true, the crawler uses the file to remove dangling links from the cache
the next time it is invoked with the same cache. This is not guaranteed to
work correctly if another crawling instance uses the same cache simultaneously.
cache - the external cache. This may be NULL if the crawled items do not need
to be put in an external cache.
postProcessItemFn - a function which is called after each item has been handled
by netlib. This may be NULL.
postProcessItemData - this data is supplied as a parameter to the postProcessItemFn
and is opaque to the crawler. This may be NULL.
exitFn - a function which is called when the crawler is done or has terminated
prematurely (because the cache is full, or no memory is available). This may be NULL.
exitData - this data is supplied as a parameter to the exitFn and is opaque to
the crawler. This may be NULL.
