Setting destination directory for wget

The phrase "destination directory" does not appear in the wget man page. Turns out they call it the "directory prefix":

wget -P ~/dest/dir www.foo.com/myfile.png

Try using -P together with -r and you'll see why it's called "destination prefix" rather than "destination directory". :)
