+.Sh SYNOPSIS

+.Op Ar options Ar ...
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm
+installs a boot environment using the current
+.Fx
+source tree.
+.Nm
+also automatically performs
+.Pa /etc
+updates
+(using
+.Xr etcupdate 8 )
+and
+package updates using
+.Xr pkg-upgrade 8
+automatically in the new boot environment sandbox.
+.Pp
+Upon successful completion, the system will be ready to boot into the new boot
+environment.
+Upon failure, the target boot environment will be destroyed.
+In all cases, the running system is left untouched
+and a reboot into a partially updated system
+(due to install or hardware failure) cannot happen.
+Additionally, the full installation process requires
+only one reboot as it is performed
+in a new boot environment.
+.Pp
+.Nm
+requires a fully built world and kernel.
+It also requires
+.Xr pkg 8 ,
+which is not present in the base system and has to be installed manually.
+.Pp
+The
+.Ar options
+provided to
+.Nm
+are world and kernel flags like
+.Ev KERNCONF
+as described in
+.Xr build 7 .
+.Sh ENVIRONMENT
