Ok. Here with two examples (maybe I'm just too stupid): The --add option definitely does not work without a specified catalog-file on the command line: $ xmlcatalog --verbose --add 'publicId' 'foo' 'bar' add command failed Catalogs cleanup Even the following fails: XML_CATALOG_FILES="/path/to/my/catalog.xml" xmlcatalog --verbose --noout (--create) --add 'publicId' 'foo' 'bar' fails with the same error. I would have expected, that in the first case, I see the catalog on stdout (like --del works). In the second case, the given file should be updated/created. So far my understaing of the manpage. As I said, maybe I just made a mistake. Used is libxml2 from Debian/Sid Regards, Daniel _______________________________________________ xml mailing list, project page http://xmlsoft.org/ xml@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/xml
