6 bdep-update - update project in build configurations
7
9 bdep update [options] [pkg-spec] [cfg-spec] [cfg-var...]
10 cfg-spec = (@cfg-name | --config|-c cfg-dir)... | --all|-a
12 pkg-spec = (--directory|-d pkg-dir)... | prj-spec
13 prj-spec = --directory|-d prj-dir

16 The update command updates the project packages in one or more build
17 configurations. Underneath it executes the bpkg-pkg-update(1) command
18 which itself is not much more than the build system update operation
19 (see b(1) for details). As a result, the main utility of this command
20 is the ability to refer to build configurations by names and to project
21 packages implicitly via the current working directory.
22 If no project or package directory is specified, then the current work‐
24 ing directory is assumed. If no configuration is specified, then the
25 default configuration is assumed. See bdep-projects-configs(1) for
26 details on specifying projects and configurations. Optional cfg-var...
27 are the additional configuration variables to pass to the build system.
28
30 --all|-a
31 Use all build configurations.
32 --config|-c dir
34 Specify the build configuration as a directory.
35 --directory|-d dir
37 Assume project/package is in the specified directory rather than
38 in the current working directory.
39 --config-name|-n name
41 Specify the build configuration as a name.
