Works similarly to utils::install.packages() but doesn't install packages
that are already installed, and also upgrades out dated dependencies.

)Character vector of packages to update.
Which dependencies do you want to check? Can be a character vector (selecting from "Depends", "Imports", "LinkingTo", "Suggests", or "Enhances"), or a logical vector.
TRUE is shorthand for "Depends", "Imports", "LinkingTo" and
"Suggests". NA is shorthand for "Depends", "Imports" and "LinkingTo"
and is the default. FALSE is shorthand for no dependencies (i.e.
just check this package, not its dependencies).
The value "soft" means the same as TRUE, "hard" means the same as NA.
You can also specify dependencies from one or more additional fields, common ones include:
Config/Needs/website - for dependencies used in building the pkgdown site.
Config/Needs/coverage for dependencies used in calculating test coverage.
Should package dependencies be upgraded? One of "default", "ask", "always", or "never". "default"
respects the value of the R_REMOTES_UPGRADE environment variable if set,
and falls back to "ask" if unset. "ask" prompts the user for which out of
date packages to upgrade. For non-interactive sessions "ask" is equivalent
to "always". TRUE and FALSE are also accepted and correspond to
"always" and "never" respectively.
Deprecated, this argument has no effect.
If TRUE, suppress output.
If TRUE build the package before installing.
Options to pass to R CMD build, only used when build is TRUE.
If FALSE, don't build PDF manual ('--no-manual').
If FALSE, don't build package vignettes ('--no-build-vignettes').
A character vector giving repositories to use.
Type of package to update.
Other arguments passed on to utils::install.packages().
package_deps() to see which packages are out of date/
missing.
