DESCRIPTION         top

       systemd-sysupdated is a system service that allows unprivileged
       clients to update the system. It works by scanning the system for
       updateable "targets" (i.e. portable services, sysexts, sysupdate
       components, etc.) and exposing them on the bus. Each target then
       has methods that translate directly into invocations of
       systemd-sysupdate(8).

       See org.freedesktop.sysupdate1(5) and
       org.freedesktop.LogControl1(5) for a description of the D-Bus API.
