NAME
       update-ca-certificates - update system CA certificates

SYNOPSIS
       update-ca-certificates [options]

DESCRIPTION
       update-ca-certificates  updates	the directory /etc/ssl/certs to hold SSL certificates and generates /etc/ssl/ca-bundle.pem, 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. All certificates are implicitly trusted if no trusted certificates are listed.

       Furthermore all certificates found below /usr/local/share/ca-certificates are also included as implicitly trusted.

       After populating /etc/ssl/certs update-ca-certificates invokes custom hooks in /usr/lib/ca-certificates/update.d/*.run and /etc/ca-certifi-
       cates/update.d/*.run. The command line options used for invoking update-ca-certificates are passed to the hooks as well.
