crawl

Crawl starts a depth-first traversal of the Web at the specified URLs. It stores all JPEG images that match the configured constraints. Crawl is fairly fast and allows for graceful termination. After terminating crawl, it is possible to restart it at exactly the same spot where it was terminated. It also keeps a persistent database that allows multiple crawls without revisiting sites.
