13 The pkg-update command updates the specified packages (the first form)
14 or all the held packages (the second form, see bpkg-pkg-status(1)).
15 Underneath, this command doesn't do much more than run b update (or one
16 of its update-for-* variants; see --for|-f). In the first form the
17 specified packages must have been previously configured with bpkg-pkg-
18 build(1) or bpkg-pkg-configure(1).
19
20 Additional command line variables (vars, normally config.*) can be
21 passed to the build system. Such variables apply to all the specified
22 packages but can also be specified to only apply to specific packages
23 using the argument grouping mechanism (see bpkg-argument-grouping(1)
24 for details).
