<title>Introduction</title>
<para>
<application>xmlcatalog</application> is a command line application
allowing users to monitor and manipulate <acronym>XML</acronym> and
<acronym>SGML</acronym> catalogs. It is included in
<application>libxml2</application>.
</para>
<para>
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 <acronym>XML</acronym> and <acronym>SGML</acronym> files.

<varlistentry>
<term><option>--create</option> <replaceable>filename</replaceable></term>
<listitem>
<simpara>
Create a new
<acronym>XML</acronym> catalog. Outputs to stdout, ignoring
<replaceable>filename</replaceable> unless <option>--noout</option> is
used, in which case it creates a new catalog file
<replaceable>filename</replaceable>.

<varlistentry>
<term><option>--add</option> <replaceable>'type'</replaceable> <replaceable>'orig'</replaceable> <replaceable>'replace'</replaceable> <replaceable>filename</replaceable></term>
<listitem>
<simpara>
Add an entry to catalog file
<filename>filename</filename>. <replaceable>type</replaceable>
indicates the type of entry. Possible types are 'public', 'system',
'rewriteSystem', 'rewriteURI', 'delegatePublic', 'delegateSystem',
and 'nextCatalog'. <replaceable>'orig'</replaceable> is the original
reference to be replaced, and <replaceable>'replace'</replaceable>
is the <acronym>URI</acronym> of the replacement entity to be
used. The <option>--add</option> option will not overwrite
<replaceable>filename</replaceable>, outputting to stdout, unless
<option>--noout</option> is used. The <option>--add</option> will
always take three parameters even if some of the
<acronym>XML</acronym> catalog constructs will have only a single
argument.
<!--
FIXME - Is my list of possible types correct? Are SGML types the same?

</simpara>
<simpara>
If the <option>--add</option> option is used following the
<option>--sgml</option> option, only a single argument, a
<replaceable>filename</replaceable>, is used. This is used to add
the name of a catalog file to an <acronym>SGML</acronym>
supercatalog, a file that contains references to other included
<acronym>SGML</acronym> catalog files.

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