You don't even need the file name. Just the extension works.
Code:
calibredb catalog --help help on the default epub format
calibredb catalog .epub --help for help on epub format
calibredb catalog .bib --help for help on bib format
calibredb catalog .csv --help for help on the csv format
Hence the bit you quoted:
calibredb.exe catalog /path/to/destination.(csv|epub|mobi|xml...) [options]
where you will notice the destination.extension with the ... as a gentle hint that there are options that are not visible such as AZW3 and BIB—the usual purpose of an ellipsis. (the omission from speech or writing of a word or words that are superfluous or able to be understood from contextual clues).
