+NAME
+----
+sde-sync - synchronizes all or part of the system with upstream changes.
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+'sde sync' [DISCRIMINATORS] [OPTIONS] [ITEMS...]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+
+Synchronizes part of the environment to the latest version from the 
+repository. Depending on the discriminator specified either the package
+tree, an identified target, the OpenSDE framework or all of then will 
+get synchronized
+
+DISCRIMINATORS
+--------------
+
+all::
+	Synchronizes everything (system, packages and targets) to the 
+	latest changes in the upstream repository. However, only items 
+	that actually came from a repository will get synchronized. Other
+	items will not be touched.
+	This discriminator does not require any items to be specified.
+
+package, pkg::
+	Synchronizes the package tree to the latest changes in the upstream
+	repository.
+	This discriminator does not require any items to be specified.
+
+system, sys::
+	Synchronizes the OpenSDE framework to the latest changes in the 
+	upstream repository.
+	This discriminator does not require any items to be specified.
+
+target, tgt::
+	Synchronizes the specified target to the latest changes in the 
+	upstream repository, but only if it originally came from a 
+	repository. If the specified target does not originally come from 
+	a repository this command will result in an error message.
+
+When no discriminator is specified, then the default discriminator depends
+on the current working directory. When the current working direcotry is 
+inside one of the targets, then that target will get synchronized. on the 
+other hand if it is inside the package tree, then the package tree will get 
+synchronized. If neither of these is the case, then the OpenSDE system will 
+get synchronized.
