.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
command is used to setup and interact with ZFS boot environments, which are bootable clones of datasets.
.Pp
.Em Boot Environments
allows the system to be upgraded, while preserving the old system environment in a separate ZFS dataset.
.Sh COMMANDS
The following commands are supported by
.Nm :
.Bl -tag -width activate
.It Ic activate
.Op Fl t
.Ar <beName>
.Pp
Activate the given
.Ar beName

.It Ic create
.Op Fl r
.Op Fl e Ar nonActiveBe | Fl e Ar beName@snapshot
.Ao Ar beName Ac
.Pp
Creates a new boot environment named
.Ar beName .
If the -e param is specified, the new environment will be cloned from the given
.Ar nonActiveBe | Ar beName@snapshot .
If the
.Op Fl r
flag is given, a recursive boot environment will be made.
.It Ic create
.Op Fl r
.Ao Ar beName@snapshot Ac
.Pp
Creates a snapshot of the existing boot environment named
.Ar beName .
If the
.Op Fl r
flag is given, a recursive boot environment will be made.
.It Ic destroy
.Op Fl F
.Ao Ar beName | beName@snapshot Ac
.Pp
Destroys the given
.Ar beName
boot environment or
.Ar beName@snapshot
snapshot.
Specifying
.Fl F
will automatically unmount without confirmation.
.It Ic jail
.Oo Fl o Ar key Ns = Ns Ar value | Fl u Ar key Oc Ns ...
.Ao Ar jailID | jailName Ac
.Ao Ar bootenv Ac
.Pp
Creates a jail of the given boot environment.
Multiple
.Fl o
and
.Fl u
arguments may be specified.
.Fl o
will set a jail parameter, and
.Fl u
will unset a jail parameter.
.Pp
The
.Va name ,
.Va host.hostname ,
and
.Va path
may not actually be unset.
Attempts to unset any of these will revert them to the default values specified
below, if they have been overwritten by
.Fl o .
.Pp
All
.Ar key ,
.Ar value
pairs are interpreted as jail parameters as described in
.Xr jail 8 .
The following default parameters are provided:
.Bl -tag -width -indent
.It Va allow.mount Ns = Ns Ar true
.It Va allow.mount.devfs Ns = Ns Ar true
.It Va enforce_statfs Ns = Ns Ar 1
.It Va name Ns = Ns Ar bootenv
.It Va host.hostname Ns = Ns Ar bootenv
.It Va path
Set to a path in /tmp generated by
.Xr libbe 3 .
.El
.Pp

.It Ic list
.Op Fl a
.Op Fl D
.Op Fl H
.Op Fl s
.Pp
Displays all boot environments.
The Active field indicates whether the boot environment is active now (N); active on reboot (R); or both (NR).
.Pp
If
.Fl a
is used, display all datasets.
If
.Fl D
is used, display the full space usage for each boot environment, assuming all other boot environments were destroyed.
The
.Fl H
option is used for scripting.
It does not print headers and separate fields by a single tab instead of arbitrary white space.
If
.Fl s
is used, display all snapshots as well.
.It Ic mount
.Ao Ar beName Ac
.Op mountpoint
.Pp
Temporarily mount the boot environment.
Mount at the specified
.Ar mountpoint
if provided.
.It Ic rename Ao Ar origBeName Ac Ao Ar newBeName Ac

.Ar origBeName
to the given
.Ar newBeName
.It Ic unmount
.Op Fl f
.Ao Ar beName Ac
.Pp
Unmount the given boot environment, if it is mounted.
Specifying
.Fl f
will force the unmount if busy.
.It Ic unjail Ao Ar jailID | jailName | beName Ac
.Pp
Destroys the jail created from the given boot environment.
