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 commands.
       This manual page was written for the Debian distribution.

       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.

       Furthermore all certificates found  below  /usr/local/share/ca-certifi‐
       cates 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 -.
