SYNOPSIS
     /usr/bin/pm-updatemanager [options]

DESCRIPTION
     pm-updatemanager is a program which you can use to update the installed
     packages on your system.


OPTIONS
     The following options are supported:

     --help or -h
          Displays a usage message.

     ---refresh or -r
           Force a refresh before checking for updaters. By default, a
           refresh is not done before checking for updates.

     ---image-dir or -R dir
          Operate on the image rooted at dir, rather than the one discovered
          automatically.

     ---update-all or -U bename
          Update all packages in specified boot environment. When the user
          chooses Update All option in pm-updatemanager and the packages
          containing pkg or pm-updatemanager need to be updated before
          doing image update, pm-updatemanager is called with this option
          after the packages have been updated.

NOTES
     The image packaging system is an under-development feature.
     Command names, invocation, formats, and operations are all subject
     to change.  Development is hosted in the OpenSolaris community
     at:

     http:/opensolaris.org/os/project/pkg/

     pm-updatemanager needs to be invoked with enough privilege to operate
     on an image you do not own. You will normally invoke pm-updatemanager
     using pexec.
