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

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 directory 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 .disabled are not considered.  Before adding a catalog to the super catalog it is
       parsed and verified in order to not corrupt the super catalog.  All referenced catalogs are verified to actually	 ex‐
       ist.   If the check fails, a message is printed and the complete catalog is ignored.  This check ensures that a cata‐
       log from a package, which is removed but not purged, is removed from the super catalog.
