8  ctest_update([SOURCE <source-dir>]
9               [RETURN_VALUE <result-var>]
10               [CAPTURE_CMAKE_ERROR <result-var>]
11               [QUIET])
12
13Update the source tree from version control and record results in
14``Update.xml`` for submission with the :command:`ctest_submit` command.
15
16The options are:
17
18``SOURCE <source-dir>``
19  Specify the source directory.  If not given, the
20  :variable:`CTEST_SOURCE_DIRECTORY` variable is used.
21
22``RETURN_VALUE <result-var>``
23  Store in the ``<result-var>`` variable the number of files
24  updated or ``-1`` on error.
25
26``CAPTURE_CMAKE_ERROR <result-var>``
27  .. versionadded:: 3.13
28
29  Store in the ``<result-var>`` variable -1 if there are any errors running
30  the command and prevent ctest from returning non-zero if an error occurs.
31
32``QUIET``
33  .. versionadded:: 3.3
34
35  Tell CTest to suppress most non-error messages that it would
36  have otherwise printed to the console.  CTest will still report
37  the new revision of the repository and any conflicting files
38  that were found.
39
40The update always follows the version control branch currently checked
41out in the source directory.  See the :ref:`CTest Update Step`
42documentation for information about variables that change the behavior
43of ``ctest_update()``.
