NAME
     pm-updatemanager - application to update packages.

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/bin/pm-updatemanager [options]

     /usr/bin/pm-updatemanager [-hdR]  [--help] [--debug] [--image-dir dir]

DESCRIPTION
     pm-updatemanager is a program which you can use to check for and install available
     updates for the installed packages on your system.
     Note: when pm-updatemanager is run and the packages containing package/pkg,
     package/pkg/packagemanger or package/pkg/updatemanager need to be updated before
     doing any updates, pm-updatemanager first updates these packages and then restarts
     to carry out any remaining updates.

OPTIONS
     The following options are supported:

     --help or -h
          Displays a usage message.

     --debug or -d
          Run pm-updatemanger in debug mode.

     ---image-dir or -R dir
          Operate on the image rooted at dir, rather than the one discovered
          automatically.

EXAMPLES
     Example 1:  Invoke pm-updatemanager on the current image. This checks for and
     installs all available Updates for the current image and is how it is invoked from
     the menu item under Administration-> Update Manager.

     $ /usr/lib/pm-launch pm-updatemanager

     Example 2:  Invoke pm-updatemanager on image stored at /aux0/example_root.

     $ /usr/lib/pm-launch pm-updatemanager -R /aux0/example_root

EXIT STATUS
     The following exit values are returned:

     0     Everything worked.

     1     Something bad happened.

NOTES
     The image packaging system is an under-development feature.
     Command names, invocation, formats, and operations are all subject
     to change.  Development is hosted in the OpenSolaris community
     at:

     http://opensolaris.org/os/project/pkg/

     When operating on an image you do not own pm-updatemanager needs to be invoked
     with enough privilege. You will normally invoke pm-updatemanager using
     /usr/lib/pm-launch under these circumstances.
