NAME
     xmlcatalog - Command line tool to parse and manipulate XML
     or SGML catalog files.

SYNOPSIS
     xmlcatalog [--sgml | --shell | --create | --del VALUE(S) |
                [ --add TYPE ORIG REPLACE  | --add FILENAME] |
                --noout | --no-super-update | [-v | --verbose]]
                {CATALOGFILE} {ENTITIES...}

DESCRIPTION
     xmlcatalog is a command line application allowing users to
     monitor and manipulate XML and SGML catalogs. It is included
     in libxml(3).

     Its functions can be invoked from a single command from the
     command line, or it can perform multiple functions in
     interactive mode. It can operate on both XML and SGML files.

OPTIONS
     xmlcatalog accepts the following options (in alphabetical
     order):

     --add TYPE ORIG REPLACE
         Add an entry to CATALOGFILE.  TYPE indicates the type of
         entry. Possible types are: public, system, uri,
         rewriteSystem, rewriteURI, delegatePublic,
         delegateSystem, delegateURI, nextCatalog.  ORIG is the
         original reference to be replaced, and REPLACE is the
         URI of the replacement entity to be used. The --add
         option will not overwrite CATALOGFILE, outputting to
         stdout, unless --noout is used. The --add will always
         take three parameters even if some of the XML catalog
         constructs will have only a single argument.

     --add FILENAME
         If the --add option is used following the --sgml option,
         only a single argument, a FILENAME, is used. This is
         used to add the name of a catalog file to an SGML
         supercatalog, a file that contains references to other
         included SGML catalog files.

     --create
         Create a new XML catalog. Outputs to stdout, ignoring
         filename unless --noout is used, in which case it
         creates a new catalog file filename.

     --del VALUE(S)
         Remove entries from CATALOGFILE matching VALUE(S). The
         --del option will not overwrite CATALOGFILE, outputting
         to stdout, unless --noout is used.

     --noout
         Save output to the named file rather than outputting to
         stdout.

     --no-super-update
         Do not update the SGML super catalog.

     --shell
         Run a shell allowing interactive queries on catalog file
         CATALOGFILE. For the set of available commands see the
         section called "SHELL COMMANDS".

     --sgml
         Uses SGML super catalogs for --add and --del options.

     -v, --verbose
         Output debugging information.

SHELL COMMANDS
     Invoking xmlcatalog with the --shell CATALOGFILE option
     opens a command line shell allowing interactive access to
     the catalog file identified by CATALOGFILE. Invoking the
     shell provides a command line prompt after which the
     following commands (described in alphabetical order) can be
     entered.

     add TYPE ORIG REPLACE
         Add an entry to the catalog file.  TYPE indicates the
         type of entry. Possible types are: public, system, uri,
         rewriteSystem, rewriteURI, delegatePublic,
         delegateSystem, delegateURI, nextCatalog.  ORIG is the
         original reference to be replaced, and REPLACE is the
         URI of the replacement entity to be used. The --add
         option will not overwrite CATALOGFILE, outputting to
         stdout, unless --noout is used. The --add will always
         take three parameters even if some of the XML catalog
         constructs will have only a single argument.

     debug
         Print debugging statements showing the steps xmlcatalog
         is executing.

     del VALUE(S)
         Remove the catalog entry corresponding to VALUE(S).

     dump
         Print the current catalog.

     exit
         Quit the shell.

     public PUBLIC-ID
         Execute a Formal Public Identifier look-up of the
         catalog entry for PUBLIC-ID. The corresponding entry
         will be output to the command line.

     quiet
         Stop printing debugging statements.

     system SYSTEM-ID
         Execute a Formal Public Identifier look-up of the
         catalog entry for SYSTEM-ID. The corresponding entry
         will be output to the command line.

ENVIRONMENT
     XML_CATALOG_FILES
         XML catalog behavior can be changed by redirecting
         queries to the user's own set of catalogs. This can be
         done by setting the XML_CATALOG_FILES environment
         variable to a list of catalogs. An empty one should
         deactivate loading the default /etc/xml/catalog catalog.

DIAGNOSTICS
     xmlcatalog return codes provide information that can be used
     when calling it from scripts.

     0
         No error

     1
