NAME
url-category - Configures URL categories for URL classification and filtering
MODULE
sys url-db
SYNTAX
Configure a url-category component within the module using the syntax shown in the following sections.
CREATE/MODIFY
Each url-category consists of the object name (/Common/Business_and_Economy), a display-name ("Business and Economy") which
is a more user-friendly category name, and a category number. The hundreds and thousands of URLs under a url-category are
stored in a database. You can create your own url-category (custom category) and you can add more URLs to an existing
category (recategorization).

DESCRIPTION
Configures a url-category
NOTE: When you create a new url-category, you must provide a display-name. However, after creation it cannot be changed to
another value. The system will provide a cat-number for your newly created url-category. The number is an integer greater
than 1900. The url-category you create is considered to be a custom URL category, and so the is-custom flag will be set to
true.
NOTE: The only change you can make to a system provided url-category is to add one or more URLs to its list of URLs. This
is called recategorization, and the is-recategory flag will be set to true. You need to do this if the URL does not already
exist in the database.
EXAMPLES
create url-category my-own-url-cat display-name "My Own URL Category" urls add { http://a.url.com
http://www.another.url.org }
Creates a new url-category. The new url-category you create is known as a custom category, as opposed to a system provided
url-category. In this case, you must specify the display-name and at least one URL.
modify url-category my-own-url initial-disposition 4 parent-category 0
Modify the initial-disposition and parent-category in a customized url-category.
modify url-category Business_and_Economy urls add { http://www.theneomarxist.com }
Modify a system provided url-category by adding a URL to it. This action is called recategorization. The url-category is
recategorized.
