Configuring Image and Publisher Properties

To implement image policies, set image properties. This section describes image and publisher properties and how to set these properties. See also “Image Properties” in the pkg(1) man page for descriptions of image properties.

Daemons or other programs that need to know the time an image was last modified can consult the time stamp on the file /var/pkg/modified. The time stamp on /var/pkg/modified is updated every time an operation occurs that modifies the image. Use the pkg history command to display information about the change at that time. See Viewing Operation History for more information.
