swupd command [OPTIONS]

swupd is the software update and bundle management tool for Clear Linux. Unlike traditional package managers, swupd manages bundles (collections of related packages) and uses file-level versioning similar to git, where each OS version represents a complete, consistent snapshot.
Updates are highly efficient, downloading only changed files using binary deltas. The tool can verify system integrity, repair corrupted files, and manage automatic updates.

Requires network connectivity to update servers. Bundles include all dependencies; you cannot install individual packages. OS version numbers are not semantic; each represents a complete system state. Some bundles are large.

swupd was developed by Intel for Clear Linux, a performance-optimized Linux distribution first released in 2015. Clear Linux pioneered stateless computing and efficient update mechanisms. The swupd tool exemplifies Clear Linux's approach to software management with atomic updates and file-level verification.
