name conflict `cargo-update` #133

In the Cargo Book there is also a command with the same name: https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/commands/cargo-update.html

But it does another thing: cargo-update - Update dependencies as recorded in the local lock file and not A cargo subcommand for checking and applying updates to installed executables

This is a confusing name conflict. In neither of this 2 names is clear what is actually being updated? "Cargo" is not being updated by any of these, to be clear. One could be update_ installed_executables The other update_cargo_toml_dependencies

The source cargo-update package produces two binaries: cargo-install-update and cargo-install-update-config. This is clearly outlined in the package description, README and both manpages.

Closing as duplicate of #101
