gdmupdate
gdmupdate(
{ G_gdmSpec | q_gdmSpecList }
[ g_version ]
[ g_name ]
[ x_gdmOptions ]
[ g_xtra ]
)
=> t / nil
Description
Makes files in the workarea available for reading. Co-managed files are updated in the same grouping in which they were checked in; co-managed behavior applies only if G_gdmSpec consists of library elements.
If G_gdmSpec represents a directory that is not a library element, this function works recursively on the directory only if the GDM_RECURSE option was set when G_gdmSpec was created with gdmCreateSpec.
This function is the SKILL equivalent of the gdmupdate shell command.

The gdmSpec object of the library, cell, view, directory, or file to update.
