Actually, -u doesn't mean update, means filter packages that are not
updatable (are already the most recent version).
It's a filter option, not an action. Portage doesn't work with actions.
Not according to the man page:
--update (-u)
Updates packages to the best version available, which may
not always be the highest version number due to masking for testing and
develop‐
ment. Package atoms specified on the command line are
greedy, meaning that unspecific atoms may match multiple versions of
slotted pack‐
ages.
It is a command line, or make.conf, option but it tells emerge what to
do. It's no different than -D or -N. They are all options but they
tell portage what you want it to do. Update means update. That's why
it is called update instead of something else.
