• Installing, updating and verifying software with the Image Packaging System (pkg)

  The pkg client covers search, install, update, uninstall, publisher management, and verify/fix against packaging metadata. pkg operations are boot-environment aware: changes to packages that require a reboot go into a new BE activated for the next boot, while other changes apply to the running BE, under the default policy with a backup BE when kernel-affecting content is touched.
