I'd state {@code options} is BlobTargetOption and instead of preconditions use request options and link to update API documentation: https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/json_api/v1/objects/update

I think this is clear from the parameter type

and instead of preconditions use request options

Personally for me it was hard to understand the purspose of this parameter. So, I tried to rephrase this statement to help users not very familiar with the Storage details to get the meaning. I came up to: The options parameter contains the preconditions for applying the update

Thanks, sgtm, I think having the link will help provide information.
