NAME

SYNOPSIS

mkcat

[ -d databasename | --database=databasename ]
[ -h | --help ]

DESCRIPTION

This program is mostly obsolete since directories for categories are automatically created as necessary, but is left for histerical reasons.

mkcat should be run by the GNATS user (by default gnats).

OPTIONS

-d, --database

Specifies the database to be scanned for new categories; if no database is specified, the database named default is assumed. This option overrides the database specified in the GNATSDB environment variable.

-h, --help

Displays a short usage message.
