   pr[operties]

   Changes and/or displays local registry properties and policies.

   This command displays the current properties and then prompts for
   whether you want to make changes to them.  You can change the local
   registry's:

     +  Capacity - A number representing the total number of entries
        the local registry can contain at any one time. When the
        capacity is reached, subsequent new entries overwrite the
        oldest entries.

     +  Account lifespan - The time in which an account in the local
        registry is valid in the following format:

            weekswdaysdhourshminutesm

        For example, 4 weeks and 5 days is entered as 4w5d.  If you
        enter only a number and no weeks, days, or hours designation,
        the designation defaults to hours.  If you end the lifepan with
        a number and no weeks, days, or hours designation, the number
        with no designation defaults to seconds.  For example, 12w30
        is assumed to be 12 weeks thirty seconds.
