      xmlcatalog is a command line application
      allowing users to monitor and manipulate XML and
      SGML catalogs. It is included in
      libxml2.
    </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 XML and SGML files.
    </p></div><div class="refsect1"><a name="cloptions"></a><h2>Command Line Options</h2><div class="variablelist"><dl><dt><span class="term"><tt>--shell</tt> <i><tt>filename</tt></i></span></dt><dd>
	    Run a shell
	    allowing interactive queries on catalog file
	    <i><tt>filename</tt></i>.
	  </dd><dt><span class="term"><tt>--create</tt> <i><tt>filename</tt></i></span></dt><dd>
	    Create a new
	    XML catalog. Outputs to stdout, ignoring
	    <i><tt>filename</tt></i> unless <tt>--noout</tt> is
	    used, in which case it creates a new catalog file
	    <i><tt>filename</tt></i>.
	  </dd><dt><span class="term"><tt>--add</tt> <i><tt>'type'</tt></i> <i><tt>'orig'</tt></i> <i><tt>'replace'</tt></i> <i><tt>filename</tt></i></span></dt><dd><p>
	    Add an entry to catalog file
	    <tt>filename</tt>. <i><tt>type</tt></i> indicates
	    the type of entry. Possible types are 'public', 'system', 'rewriteSystem',
	    'delegatePublic' and 'delegateSystem'. <i><tt>'orig'</tt></i>
	    is the original reference to 
	    be replaced, and <i><tt>'replace'</tt></i> is the
	    URI of the replacement entity to be used. The
	    <tt>--add</tt> option will not overwrite
	    <i><tt>filename</tt></i>, outputing to stdout, unless
	    <tt>--noout</tt> is used. The <tt>--add</tt> will always
	    take three parameters even if some of the XML catalog
	    constructs will have only a single argument.

	  </p><p>
	    If the <tt>--add</tt> option is used following the
	    <tt>--sgml</tt> option, only a single argument, a
	    <i><tt>filename</tt></i>, 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.
	  </p></dd><dt><span class="term"><tt>--del</tt> <i><tt>'values'</tt></i> <i><tt>filename</tt></i></span></dt><dd>
	    Remove entries from the catalog file
	    <i><tt>filename</tt></i> matching
	    <i><tt>'values'</tt></i>. The <tt>--del</tt> option
	    will not overwrite <i><tt>filename</tt></i>, outputing to
	    stdout, unless <tt>--noout</tt> is used.
	  </dd><dt><span class="term"><tt>--noout</tt></span></dt><dd>
	    Save output to the named file rather than
	    outputing to stdout.
	  </dd><dt><span class="term"><tt>-v</tt> or <tt>--verbose</tt></span></dt><dd>
	    output debugging
	    information.

      <tt>--shell</tt> <i><tt>filename</tt></i> option opens
    a command line shell allowing interactive access to the catalog file
      identified by <i><tt>filename</tt></i>. Invoking the shell
    provides a command line prompt after which commands can be entered.
    </p><div class="variablelist"><dl><dt><span class="term"><tt>public</tt> <i><tt>'PublicID'</tt></i></span></dt><dd>
	    Execute a
	    public identifier lookup of the catalog entry for
	    <i><tt>'PublicID'</tt></i>. The corresponding entry will be
	    output to the command line.
	  </dd><dt><span class="term"><tt>system</tt> <i><tt>'SystemID'</tt></i></span></dt><dd>
	    Execute a
	    public identifier lookup of the catalog entry for
	    <i><tt>'SystemID'</tt></i>. The corresponding entry will be
	    output to the command line.
	  </dd><dt><span class="term"><tt>add </tt> <i><tt>'type'</tt></i> <i><tt>'orig'</tt></i> <i><tt>'replace'</tt></i></span></dt><dd>
	    Add an entry to the catalog
	    file. <i><tt>type</tt></i> indicates the type of
	    entry. Possible types are 'public', 'system', 'rewriteSystem',
	    'delegatePublic' and 'delegateSystem'. <i><tt>'orig'</tt></i>
