Since this is the first mention of the boot environment in the manual page, maybe it would be appropriate to explain the conditions under which a boot environment is created and what happens if this argument is provided, but no boot environment is going to be created. For example, when operating on a user image as a non-root user, image-update never creates a new boot environment. I would expect this argument to be ignored then, right?

Which hopes to fix

3718 plan_update_all needs to have an optional argument for the new BE name

http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=3718

2883 image-update should have option to choose new BE name
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=2883

3748: beCopy should be called with no arguments, then the clone renamed
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=3748

It adds a new optional parameter to the plan_update_all call of the API which allows specification of the name the cloned BE is given.

Thanks for taking a look,
Brock
