## NAME

App::Cme::Command::update - Update the configuration of an application

## VERSION

version 1.041

## SYNOPSIS

```
   cme update <application>
   # example: cme update dpkg-copyright
```

## DESCRIPTION

Update a configuration file. The update is done scanning external resource.

For instance, `"cme update dpkg-copyright"` command can be used to update a specific Debian package file (`"debian/copyright"`). This is done by scanning the headers of source files.

Currently, only dpkg-copyright application currently supports updates.

The configuration data (i.e. the content of `"debian/copyright"` in this example) is mapped to a tree structure inside cme. You can:

- •

  view this structure in YAML format by running `"cme dump dpkg-copyright"`

- •

  view this structure in Config::Model's format (aka `"cml"`) by running `"cme dump -format cml dpkg-copyright"`. This format is documented in Config::Model::Loader.

- •

  get a graphical view with `"cme edit dpkg-copyright"`.

## Common options

See "Global Options" in cme.
