linkchecker.py

#!/usr/bin/env python3
#
# This a link checker for Kubernetes documentation website.
#
# If the language to check is not English (`en`), we check if you are actually
# using the localized links. For example, if you checking
# `content/zh-cn/docs/foo/bar`, we check if the English version exists AND if the
# Chinese version exists as well.  A checking record is produced if the link
# can use the localized version.
#
# Usage: linkchecker.py -h
#
# Cases handled:
#
# - [foo](#bar)                         : ignored currently
# + [foo](http://bar)                   : insecure links to external site
# + [foo](https://k8s.io/website/...)   : hardcoded site domain name
#
# + [foo](/<lang>/docs/bar/...)  : where <lang> is not 'en'
#   + /<lang>/docs/bar           : contains shortcode, so ignore, or
#   + /<lang>/docs/bar           : is a image link (ignore currently), or
#   + /<lang>/docs/bar           : points to shared (non-localized) page, or
