+.SH NAME
+update-ca-certificates \- update /etc/ssl/certs and ca-certificates.crt
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B update-ca-certificates
+.RI [ options ]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This manual page documents briefly the
+.B update-ca-certificates
+command.
+.PP
+\fBupdate-ca-certificates\fP is a program that updates the directory
+/etc/ssl/certs to hold SSL certificates and generates ca-certificates.crt,
+a concatenated single-file list of certificates.
+.PP
+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. Certificates must have a .crt extension in order to
+be included by update-ca-certificates.
+.PP
+Furthermore all certificates with a .crt extension found below
+/usr/local/share/ca-certificates are also included as implicitly trusted.
+.PP
+Before terminating, \fBupdate-ca-certificates\fP invokes
+\fBrun-parts\fP on /etc/ca-certificates/update.d.
