.SH NOM

.P
SNAPS \- An OpenBSD admin utility to upgrade to last \-current base snapshot.

.SH SYNOPSIS

.P
\fBsnaps\fR [\fIoptions\fR]

.SH DESCRIPTION

.P
\fBsnaps\fR will help you to download the needed \fBbsd.rd\fR, check it and move it to
the right place before rebooting. A backup of your last bsd.rd is made. All
steps are verbose. It can be run with only the base system. Nevertheless if you
install \fIcurl\fR from packages, it will check your \fI$MIRROR\fR build date of
base and packages. You will be able to decide if you want to do the update right now
or wait for the synchronicity of the two directories.

\fI$MIRROR\fR variable based upon \fI/etc/installurl\fR for a quick look.

.SH COMMAND LINE USAGE

.TP
\fBMIRROR=http://another/openbsd/mirror/pub/OpenBSD doas snaps \-G\fR
