The way that I use it most often was provided in the example at the top of
the email, to wit:

wget http://www.somesite.com --mirror --unfollowed-links=somesite.txt
 
will result in the file somesite.txt containing all external links from
somesite.com.

In other words, it answers the question: "What sites does somesite.com link
to?"

Yes, it does so just record everything else into a different hash_table. :-)
