About:
Xmlcatmgr is a command-line utility designed to manage SGML and XML catalog files. It provides a straightforward interface for adding, removing, and querying entity and public identifier mappings within these catalogs. This tool is essential for resolving external entities and DTDs in legacy and modern XML processing workflows.

Key Features:

Command-line interface for scriptable catalog management
Support for both SGML and XML catalog formats
Operations for adding, removing, and querying catalog entries
Simplifies entity and DTD resolution for parsers

Use Cases:

Managing system catalogs for SGML/XML parsers like libxml2
Resolving external DTDs and entities in offline or controlled environments
Automating the setup of XML processing environments

Alternatives:

OpenSP (ospcat) – OpenSP includes catalog management tools but Xmlcatmgr is more focused and lightweight for specific catalog manipulation tasks.
libxml2 utilities – libxml2 provides XML parsing capabilities but Xmlcatmgr offers a dedicated, simpler interface for direct catalog file editing.
