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 /etc/ssl/certs	direc
       tory  to  hold  SSL certificates and generates certificates.crt that is
       single-file version of CA certificates.

       activated CA certificates under /usr/share/ca-certificates.  Lines that
       begin with "#" is comment line.	Lines that begin with "!" is deselect,
       deactivation of the CA certificates.

       /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 -.
