\description{
 Updates or, if necessary, installs the component packages of 
\pkg{statnet} that are on \code{CRAN}. This function is
essentially an alias for \code{\link{update.packages}},
and any arguments passed to \code{update_statnet} 
(except \code{oldPkgs} and \code{ask}) are 
passed directly to \code{\link{update.packages}}.  
The function will automatically update those packages listed in the
\code{Depends} and \code{Suggests} lines of the \code{statnet/DESCRIPTION} file.
}
\value{
  \code{update_statnet} returns NULL invisibly.  
}
\details{

  \code{\link{update.packages}} provides very informative feedback
  whenever a package is out of date.
