disabling link conversion. (Use @samp{./-} to print to a file
literally named @samp{-}.)
-Note that a combination with @samp{-k} is only well-defined for
-downloading a single document.
+Use of @samp{-O} is @emph{not} intended to mean simply ``use the name
+@var{file} instead of the one in the URL;'' rather, it is
+analogous to shell redirection:
+@samp{wget -O file http://foo} is intended to work like
+@samp{wget -O - http://foo > file}; @file{file} will be truncated
+immediately, and @emph{all} downloaded content will be written there.
+
+Note that a combination with @samp{-k} is only permitted when
+downloading a single document, and combination with any of @samp{-r},
+@samp{-p}, or @samp{-N} is not allowed.
@cindex clobbering, file
@cindex downloading multiple times
In versions of Wget prior to 1.10 such use of @samp{--header} caused
sending of duplicate headers.
+@cindex redirect
+@item --max-redirect=@var{number}
+Specifies the maximum number of redirections to follow for a resource.
+The default is 20, which is usually far more than necessary. However, on
+those occasions where you want to allow more (or fewer), this is the
+option to use.
