The command "synopkg checkupdate ${package}" is used to check for updates for a specific package in the Synology Package Center.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

"synopkg": This refers to the Synology Package Manager, which is a command-line tool for managing packages on a Synology NAS (Network Attached Storage) device.
"checkupdate": This is a sub-command of synopkg that instructs it to check for updates.
"${package}": This is a placeholder for the name of the package you want to check for updates. You'll need to replace "${package}" with the actual name of the package you want to check.

By running this command, you can determine whether there are any updates available for a specific package installed on your Synology NAS. The package name is required to be provided as an argument to the command. If an update is available, the Synology Package Manager will provide information about the update, such as the version number and release date.
