mkcat

mkcat(8)						  GNATS Admininstration Utilities						  mkcat(8)

NAME

       mkcat - create a new GNATS category

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

       Scans the database for any new categories, creating new subdirectories in the database directory if any are found.

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

       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.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       The GNATSDB environment variable is used to determine which database to use.  For a local database, it contains the name of the database to
       access.	If GNATSDB is not set, the database named default is used.
