Files

urlextractor at runtime wil check if the directory $HOME/.urlextractor
exists if the directory does not exists the directory will be created.
The previous behaviour has been added in Debian Systems in order to have a better
user experience

$HOME/.urlextractor/config

The configuration file used to customize default program settings.
After the directory $HOME/.urlextractor is created a default configuration file is
copied from the package examples directory /usr/share/doc/urlextractor/examples/config
containing a default configuration to enable urlextractor to work.
For more information about the configuration check the example file.

$HOME/.urlextractor/log.csv
