function update_get_update_list

Returns a list of all the pending database updates.

Return value

An associative array keyed by module name which contains all information about database updates that need to be run, and any updates that are not going to proceed due to missing requirements. The system module will always be listed first.

The subarray for each module can contain the following keys:

• start: The starting update that is to be processed. If this does not exist then do not process any updates for this module as there are other requirements that need to be resolved.
• warning: Any warnings about why this module can not be updated.
• pending: An array of all the pending updates for the module including the update number and the description from source code comment for each update function. This array is keyed by the update number.
