+This tool is analogous to the "register existing components" function you see in the Backstage dashboard,
+where you supply a URL link that allows for the downloading of a 'catalog-info.yaml' file that 
+defines the various Entities (Components, Systems, Resources, APIs, Users, and Groups) you want to 
+create or import into the Backstage catalog.
+
+The action within the catalog results in the creation of a Location entity that is the parent of owner
+of all the additional entities defined in the 'catalog-info.yaml' file.
+
+The dynamically generated, random UUID created to go along with the newly created Location entity is returned
+to the caller.  That UUID can be later used if you want to unregister or delete the Location entity and all
+of its children entities.
+
+If an error occurred during processing, the 'locationID' field will be blank, and the 'error' field will contain
