<span class="command"><strong>xmlcatalog</strong></span> is a command line application allowing users to monitor and
manipulate <acronym class="acronym">XML</acronym> and <acronym class="acronym">SGML</acronym> catalogs. It
is included in <span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">libxml</span>(3)</span>.
</p><p>
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 class="acronym">XML</acronym> and <acronym class="acronym">SGML</acronym> files.
</p></div><div class="refsect1"><a name="options"></a><h2>OPTIONS</h2><p>
<span class="command"><strong>xmlcatalog</strong></span> accepts the following options (in alphabetical order):
</p><div class="variablelist"><dl class="variablelist"><dt><span class="term">
<code class="option">--add
<em class="replaceable"><code>TYPE</code></em>
<em class="replaceable"><code>ORIG</code></em>
<em class="replaceable"><code>REPLACE</code></em>
</code>
</span></dt><dd><p>
Add an entry to <code class="filename">CATALOGFILE</code>. <em class="replaceable"><code>TYPE</code></em>
indicates the type of entry. Possible types are: <span class="simplelist"><em class="parameter"><code>public</code></em>, <em class="parameter"><code>system</code></em>, <em class="parameter"><code>uri</code></em>, <em class="parameter"><code>rewriteSystem</code></em>, <em class="parameter"><code>rewriteURI</code></em>, <em class="parameter"><code>delegatePublic</code></em>, <em class="parameter"><code>delegateSystem</code></em>, <em class="parameter"><code>delegateURI</code></em>, <em class="parameter"><code>nextCatalog</code></em></span>. <em class="replaceable"><code>ORIG</code></em> is the original
reference to be replaced, and <em class="replaceable"><code>REPLACE</code></em>
is the <acronym class="acronym">URI</acronym> of the replacement entity to be
used. The <code class="option">--add</code> option will not overwrite
<code class="filename">CATALOGFILE</code>, outputting
to <code class="filename">stdout</code>, unless
<code class="option">--noout</code> is used. The <code class="option">--add</code> will
always take three parameters even if some of the <acronym class="acronym">XML</acronym>
catalog constructs will have only a single argument.
</p></dd><dt><span class="term"><code class="option">--add <em class="replaceable"><code>FILENAME</code></em></code></span></dt><dd><p>
If the <code class="option">--add</code> option is used following
the <code class="option">--sgml</code> option, only a single argument,
a <em class="replaceable"><code>FILENAME</code></em>, is used. This is used to add
the name of a catalog file to an <acronym class="acronym">SGML</acronym> supercatalog,
a file that contains references to other included <acronym class="acronym">SGML</acronym>
catalog files.
</p></dd><dt><span class="term"><code class="option">--create</code></span></dt><dd><p>
Create a new <acronym class="acronym">XML</acronym> catalog. Outputs
to <code class="filename">stdout</code>,
ignoring <em class="replaceable"><code>filename</code></em> unless <code class="option">--noout</code> is
used, in which case it creates a new catalog
file <em class="replaceable"><code>filename</code></em>.
</p></dd><dt><span class="term"><code class="option">--del <em class="replaceable"><code>VALUE(S)</code></em></code></span></dt><dd><p>
Remove entries from <em class="replaceable"><code>CATALOGFILE</code></em>
matching <em class="replaceable"><code>VALUE(S)</code></em>. The <code class="option">--del</code>
option will not overwrite <em class="replaceable"><code>CATALOGFILE</code></em>,
outputting to <code class="filename">stdout</code>,
unless <code class="option">--noout</code> is used.
</p></dd><dt><span class="term"><code class="option">--noout</code></span></dt><dd><p>
Save output to the named file rather than outputting
to <code class="filename">stdout</code>.
</p></dd><dt><span class="term"><code class="option">--no-super-update</code></span></dt><dd><p>
Do not update the <acronym class="acronym">SGML</acronym> super catalog.
</p></dd><dt><span class="term"><code class="option">--shell</code></span></dt><dd><p>
Run a shell allowing interactive queries on catalog
file <em class="replaceable"><code>CATALOGFILE</code></em>. For the set of available
commands see <a class="xref" href="#shell" title="SHELL COMMANDS">the section called “SHELL COMMANDS”</a>.
</p></dd><dt><span class="term"><code class="option">--sgml</code></span></dt><dd><p>
Uses <acronym class="acronym">SGML</acronym> super catalogs for <code class="option">--add</code>
and <code class="option">--del</code> options.

Invoking <span class="command"><strong>xmlcatalog</strong></span> non-interactively without a designated action
(imposed with options like <code class="option">--add</code>) will result in a lookup
of the catalog entry for <em class="replaceable"><code>ENTITIES</code></em> in the
catalog denoted with <em class="replaceable"><code>CATALOGFILE</code></em>. The
corresponding entries will be output to the command line. This mode of
operation, together with <code class="option">--shell</code> mode and non-modifying
(i.e. without <code class="option">--noout</code>) direct actions, allows for
a special shortcut of the void <em class="replaceable"><code>CATALOGFILE</code></em>
specification (possibly expressed as "" in the shell
environment) appointing the default system catalog. That simplifies the
handling when its exact location is irrelevant but the respective built-in
still needs to be consulted.
</p></div><div class="refsect1"><a name="shell"></a><h2>SHELL COMMANDS</h2><p>
Invoking <span class="command"><strong>xmlcatalog</strong></span> with
the <code class="option">--shell <em class="replaceable"><code>CATALOGFILE</code></em></code> option opens
a command line shell allowing interactive access to the catalog file
identified by <em class="replaceable"><code>CATALOGFILE</code></em>. Invoking the shell
provides a command line prompt after which the following commands (described in
alphabetical order) can be entered.

reference to be replaced, and <em class="replaceable"><code>REPLACE</code></em>
is the <acronym class="acronym">URI</acronym> of the replacement entity to be
used. The <code class="option">--add</code> option will not overwrite
<code class="filename">CATALOGFILE</code>, outputting
to <code class="filename">stdout</code>, unless
<code class="option">--noout</code> is used. The <code class="option">--add</code> will
always take three parameters even if some of the <acronym class="acronym">XML</acronym>
