+the sub-components are the individual distribution sets generated as +part of the release process (e.g., +.Dq src/base , +.Dq src/sys , +.Dq world/base , +.Dq world/catpages , +.Dq kernel/smp ) . +Note that prior to +.Fx 6.1 , +the +.Dq kernel +component was distributed as part of +.Dq world/base . +.Pp +This option can be specified multiple times, and the parameters +accumulate. +.It Cm CreateBootEnv +The single parameter following this keyword must be +.Dq yes +or +.Dq no +and specifies whether +.Xr freebsd-update 8 +will create a new boot environment using +.Xr bectl 8 +when installing patches. +.Pp +The name of the new boot environment consists of the current +.Fx +version: +.Bd -literal -offset indent +freebsd-version -ku | sort -V | tail -n 1 +.Ed +.Pp +and a timestamp: +.Bd -literal -offset indent +date +"%Y-%m-%d_%H%M%S" +.Ed +.Pp +separated by a single dash, e.g.: +.Bd -literal -offset indent +13.0-RELEASE-p7_2022-02-16_141502 +.Ed +.Pp +.Xr freebsd-update 8 +does not attempt to create a boot environment +if any of the following applies: +.Pp +.Bl -dash -compact +.It +ZFS is not used. +.It +The ZFS root is not set up for boot environments +.Po see the check command of +.Xr bectl 8 +for details +.Pc . +.It +.Xr freebsd-update 8 +is running in a +.Xr jail 8 . +.It +.Xr freebsd-update 8 +is updating a root directory selected via +the basedir +.Pq Fl b +or jail +.Pq Fl j +flags. +.El +.It Cm IDSIgnorePaths +The parameters following this keyword are regular expressions;

+updates to paths which start with a string matching one of +these regular expressions will be ignored. +.Pp +This option can be specified multiple times, and the parameters +accumulate. +.It Cm KeepModifiedMetadata +The single parameter following this keyword must be +.Dq yes +or +.Dq no +and specifies whether +.Xr freebsd-update 8 +should keep existing file ownership, permissions, and flags +when installing updates if these have been modified locally. +.It Cm KeyPrint +The single parameter following this keyword is the SHA256 hash +of the RSA key which will be trusted to sign updates. +.It Cm MailTo +The single parameter following this keyword is the address +to which +.Xr cron 8 +output will be mailed. +.It Cm MergeChanges +The parameters following this keyword are regular expressions; +updates to paths which start with a string matching one of +these regular expressions will be merged with local modifications. +.Pp +This option can be specified multiple times, and the parameters +accumulate. +.It Cm ServerName +The single parameter following this keyword is the name of the +server or server pool from which updates will be downloaded. +.It Cm StrictComponents +The single parameter following this keyword must be +.Dq yes +or +.Dq no +and specifies whether +.Xr freebsd-update 8 +should interpret the list of components of +.Fx +specified via the +.Cm Components +option strictly as a list of components installed which +should be upgraded when the +.Cm upgrade +command is used ("yes"), or merely as a list of components +which might be installed, of which +.Xr freebsd-update 8 +should identify which in fact are present ("no"). +.It Cm UpdateIfUnmodified +The parameters following this keyword are regular expressions;
