+.SH "INTRODUCTION"
+
+.PP
+ xmlcatalog is a command line application allowing users to monitor and manipulate XML and SGML catalogs\&. It is included in libxml2\&.
+
+.PP
+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\&.
+
+.SH "COMMAND LINE OPTIONS"
+
+.TP
+\fB\-\-shell\fR \fIfilename\fR
+Run a shell allowing interactive queries on catalog file \fIfilename\fR\&.
+
+.TP
+\fB\-\-create\fR \fIfilename\fR
+Create a new XML catalog\&. Outputs to stdout, ignoring \fIfilename\fR unless \fB\-\-noout\fR is used, in which case it creates a new catalog file \fIfilename\fR\&.
+
+.TP
+\fB\-\-add\fR \fI'type'\fR \fI'orig'\fR \fI'replace'\fR \fIfilename\fR
+Add an entry to catalog file \fIfilename\fR\&. \fItype\fR indicates the type of entry\&. Possible types are 'public', 'system', 'rewriteSystem', 'delegatePublic', 'delegateSystem'amd 'rewriteURI'\&. \fI'orig'\fR is the original reference to be replaced, and \fI'replace'\fR is the URI of the replacement entity to be used\&. The \fB\-\-add\fR option will not overwrite \fIfilename\fR, outputing to stdout, unless \fB\-\-noout\fR is used\&. The \fB\-\-add\fR will always take three parameters even if some of the XML catalog constructs will have only a single argument\&.
+
+If the \fB\-\-add\fR option is used following the \fB\-\-sgml\fR option, only a single argument, a \fIfilename\fR, 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\&.
+
+.TP
+\fB\-\-del\fR \fI'values'\fR \fIfilename\fR
+Remove entries from the catalog file \fIfilename\fR matching \fI'values'\fR\&. The \fB\-\-del\fR option will not overwrite \fIfilename\fR, outputing to stdout, unless \fB\-\-noout\fR is used\&.
+
+.TP
+\fB\-\-noout\fR
+Save output to the named file rather than outputing to stdout\&.
+
+.TP
+\fB\-\-sgml\fR
+Uses SGML Super catalogs for \-\-add and \-\-del options
+
+.TP
+\fB\-v\fR or \fB\-\-verbose\fR
+output debugging information\&.
+
+.SH "SHELL COMMANDS"
+
+.PP
+Invoking xmlcatalog with the \fB\-\-shell\fR \fIfilename\fR option opens a command line shell allowing interactive access to the catalog file identified by \fIfilename\fR\&. Invoking the shell provides a command line prompt after which commands can be entered\&.
+
+.TP
+\fBpublic\fR \fI'PublicID'\fR
+Execute a public identifier lookup of the catalog entry for \fI'PublicID'\fR\&. The corresponding entry will be output to the command line\&.
+
+.TP
+\fBsystem\fR \fI'SystemID'\fR
+Execute a public identifier lookup of the catalog entry for \fI'SystemID'\fR\&. The corresponding entry will be output to the command line\&.
+
+.TP
+\fBadd \fR \fI'type'\fR \fI'orig'\fR \fI'replace'\fR
+Add an entry to the catalog file\&. \fItype\fR indicates the type of entry\&. Possible types are 'public', 'system', 'rewriteSystem', 'delegatePublic' and 'delegateSystem'\&. \fI'orig'\fR is the original reference to be replaced, and \fI'replace'\fR is the URI of the replacement entity to be used\&.
+
+.TP
+\fBdel\fR \fI'values'\fR
+Remove the catalog entry corresponding to \fI'values'\fR\&.
+
+.TP
+\fBdump\fR
+Print the current catalog\&.
+
+.TP
+\fBdebug\fR
+Print debugging statements showing the steps xmlcatalog is executing\&.
+
+.TP
+\fBquiet\fR
+Stop printing debugging statements\&.
+
+.TP
+\fBexit\fR
+Quit the shell\&.
+
+.SH "RETURN VALUES"
+
+.PP
+xmlcatalog's return codes provide information that can be used when calling it from scripts\&.
+
+.PP
+0: normal
+
+.PP
+1: Failed to remove an entry from the catalog
+
+.PP
+2: Failed to save to the catalog, check file permissions
+
+.PP
+3: Failed to add an entry to the catalog
+
+.PP
+4: Failed to lookup and entry in the catalog
+
+.SH "CATALOGS"
+
+.PP
+Catalog behavior can be changed by redirecting queries to the user's own set of catalogs\&. This can be done by setting the \fIXML_CATALOG_FILES\fR environment variable to a list of catalogs\&. An empty one should deactivate loading the default \fI/etc/xml/catalog\fR default catalog\&.
