+    crocoite is built with the Unix philosophy (“do one thing and do it well”) in
+    mind. Thus ``crocoite-grab`` can only save a single page. If you want recursion
+    use ``crocoite-recursive``, which follows hyperlinks according to ``--policy``.
+    It can either recurse a maximum number of levels or grab all pages with the
+    same prefix as the start URL:
+
+    .. code:: bash
+
+       crocoite-recursive --policy prefix http://www.example.com/dir/ output
+
+    will save all pages in ``/dir/`` and below to individual files in the output
+    directory ``output``. You can customize the command used to grab individual
+    pages by appending it after ``output``. This way distributed grabs (ssh to a
+    different machine and execute the job there, queue the command with Slurm, …)
+    are possible.
