updates

Explain pending package updates before applying them.

Usage

bash
hosomaki updates [flags]

Flags

FlagDefaultDescription
--security-onlyfalseShow only security-related updates

Output

For each pending update, Hosomaki flags:

  • Whether it's a security fix, a major version bump, a minor update, or unknown
  • Whether it requires a reboot to take effect
  • Detail explaining what changed, for security and major updates

Read-only. updates only lists and explains pending updates. It never applies them.

Supported package managers

updates detects the active package manager and adapts accordingly:

apt, dnf, yum, pacman, zypper, apk, xbps, emerge, nix

If none of these are detected, updates returns an error rather than guessing.

Examples

bash
hosomaki updates
hosomaki updates --security-only
