## 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**

   Save the scanned sites for future reference.
