Webarchives are a convenient way to store a webpage and its associated files (images, css, javascript, etc) in a single file. It is very simple to use:

./webarchiver -url http://www.google.com -output google.webarchive

Usage $

./webarchiver

webarchiver 0.2
Usage: webarchiver -url URL -output FILE
Example: webarchiver -url http://www.google.com -output google.webarchive
-url    http:// or path to local file
-output File to write webarchive to</code>

Do not forget the ‘http://’ if you want to archive a webpage. If no ‘http://’ is present then webarchiver attempts to archive a local file.
