NAME
       update-ca-certificates - update /etc/ssl/certs and certificates.crt

SYNOPSIS
       update-ca-certificates [options]

DESCRIPTION
       This manual page documents briefly the update-ca-certificates command.

       update-ca-certificates	is   a	program	 that  updates	the  directory
       /etc/ssl/certs to hold SSL certificates and generates certificates.crt,
       a concatenated single-file list of certificates.

       It reads the file /etc/ca-certificates.conf. Each line gives a pathname
       of a CA certificate under  /usr/share/ca-certificates  that  should  be
       trusted.	 Lines that begin with "#" are comment lines and thus ignored.
       Lines that begin with "!" are deselected, causing the  deactivation  of
       the CA certificate in question. Certificates must have a .crt extension
       in order to be included by update-ca-certificates.

       Furthermore  all	 certificates  with  a	.crt  extension	 found	 below
       /usr/local/share/ca-certificates	  are	also  included	as  implicitly
       trusted.

       Before  terminating,  update-ca-certificates   invokes	run-parts   on
       /etc/ca-certificates/update.d  and  calls each hook with a list of cer‐
       tificates: those added are prefixed with a +, those  removed  are  pre‐
       fixed with a -.
