[PATCH openbmc 10/16] initfs: update: add --help message

OpenBMC Patches openbmc-patches at stwcx.xyz
Fri Jul 1 09:50:27 AEST 2016


From: Milton Miller <miltonm at us.ibm.com>

Now that update is intended for use at runtime and not just by
the init and shutdown scripts, add a short help message listing
the options so people don't have to understand how to read shell.
