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. +.PP +Certificates must be in PEM format and 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 and +implicitly trusted. +.PP +To add one or more certificates to the machine, copy the certificates in PEM +format with the *.crt extension to /usr/local/share/ca-certificates. There +should be one certificate per file, and not multiple certificates in a single +file. Then run update-ca-certificates to merge the new certificates into the +existing machine store at /etc/ssl/certs. +.PP +Before terminating, \fBupdate-ca-certificates\fP invokes +\fBrun-parts\fP on /etc/ca-certificates/update.d and calls each hook with +a list of certificates: those added are prefixed with a +, those removed are +prefixed with a -. +.SH OPTIONS +A summary of options is included below. +.TP +.B \-h, \-\-help +Show summary of options. +.TP +.B \-v, \-\-verbose +Be verbose.
