CATEGORY::lookup
       Get category of URL.

SYNOPSIS
       CATEGORY::lookup URL ('-display')? ('custom' | 'request_default' |
       'request_default_and_custom')?

DESCRIPTION
       This command returns the category of the supplied URL. (requires SWG
       license) The URL needs to be of the form:
       scheme://domain:port/path?query_string#fragment_id

       The query_string and fragment_id are optional. The entire list of
       categories supported is available in the UI under "Secure Web Gateway"
       in the APM section. Examples of categories include Sports, Shopping,
       etc. The response is a list of category names in a TCL array. Most
       input URLs result in a single category but some will return more than
       one. Additionally, a result of "199" indicating a recommendation to
       scan the response can also be returned.

       To obtain a full list of the category names that can be returned, run
       the following TMSH command: tmsh list sys url-db url-category | grep
       url-category | cut -d " " -f4

RETURN VALUE
       Returns a list of categories returned by the categorization engine
       depending on the category type specified (custom, request_default, or
       request_default_and_custom). If no type is specified, it will return
       request_default. If the "-display" flag is used, it will return the
       string with category only, otherwise it will return the string as a
       category name with the partition to which it belongs.
