===========================

.. program:: ftjail check-freebsd-update


Synopsis
--------

**ftjail check-freebsd-update** [**-k**] [**-o** `old-origin`] `directory` `new-origin` [`etcupdate-tarball`]


Description
-----------

A thorough check for preconditions to run :manpage:`ftjail-freebsd-update(8)`
for a Thin Jail successfully.

It does all checks that :manpage:`ftjail-freebsd-update(8)` does but
tries to collect all errors.

It is intended that a successful run of :command:`ftjail check-freebsd-update`
implies a successful run of :command:`ftjail freebsd-update` if the same
arguments are given.


Options
-------

.. option:: -k

   Does nothing.
   Implemented for compatibility to :manpage:`ftjail-freebsd-update(8)`.

.. option:: -o <old-origin>

   In addition to check that `directory` is a ZFS clone also check that
   its origin is equal to `old-origin`.

   Note that a check that `directory` is a ZFS clone with some origin
   is done by default.


Environment
-----------

All environment variables that affect :command:`zfs` are effective also.


Files
-----

A unique temporary directory is created within :file:`/var/tmp`. All
temporary files are created within this directory.
