Can someone tell me what the https://WSUS/selfupdate switch does?

I just installed WSUS 3.0 - 64 bit and noticed an entry I had never seen
before in the "Install details" dialog box. It was
https://WSUS-30/selfupdate (wsus-30 is my server name).

Can someone tell me what the /selfupdate command switch is for? And when to
use it? Is this something unique to 64bit?

Thanks
