pio-update: Check for new versions of packages, platforms and libraries but do not actually update them.

$ pio update --dry-run

try on your machine

The command pio update --dry-run is used in the context of PlatformIO, which is an open-source ecosystem for IoT development.

In this command, pio refers to the PlatformIO CLI (Command Line Interface).

The update command is used to update the PlatformIO core system and installed platforms.

The --dry-run option is often used with update commands to simulate or preview the changes that would occur if the command were to be executed without actually making any modifications.

By using --dry-run, you can see what updates would be performed, including the versions that would be installed or upgraded, without actually making any changes to your system. This can be helpful in verifying the impact of an update before proceeding with the actual update.
