UPDATE-CATALOG(8)                              Debian                              UPDATE-CATALOG(8)



NAME
       update-catalog - create or update entry in SGML catalog file

SYNOPSIS
       update-catalog [options] --add centralized_catalog ordinary_catalog

       update-catalog [options] --remove centralized_catalog ordinary_catalog

       update-catalog [options] --update-super

DESCRIPTION
       update-catalog  inserts,  updates or removes entries in the SGML centralized catalogs located
       in /etc/sgml.  To change the SGML super catalog located in /etc/sgml/catalog modify  the  di‐
       rectory  contents of /etc/sgml to contain new files or symbolic links having a .cat extension
       or remove (or move) existing centralized catalogs and regenerate the super catalog using  the
       --update-super option.  See section SUPER CATALOG for details on the generation process.

OPTIONS
       --add  Adds an entry for the ordinary_catalog in the centralized_catalog.

       --remove
              Removes the entry for the ordinary_catalog from the centralized_catalog.

       --update-super
              Regenerates  the SGML super catalog from the contents of the /etc/sgml directory.  See
              section SUPER CATALOG for details on the super catalog generation.

       --quiet
              Prevents the usual diagnostic output.

       --test Prevents the update of the catalog and writes the resulting SGML catalog  to  standard
              output.

       --version
              Displays the version information and exits.

       --help Display the usage information and exits.

SUPER CATALOG
       The  super-catalog located in /etc/sgml/catalog cannot be directly modified.  It is generated
       by the  update-catalog  --update-super  command.   The  generation  considers  files  in  the
       /etc/sgml  directory  that have a .cat extension.  For instance files ending in .old or .dis‐
       abled are not considered.  Before adding a catalog to the super catalog it is parsed and ver‐
       ified in order to not corrupt the super catalog.  All referenced catalogs are verified to ac‐
       tually exist.  If the check fails, a message is printed and the complete catalog is  ignored.
       This check ensures that a catalog from a package, which is removed but not purged, is removed
       from the super catalog.
