[maya][python] command equivalent of 'reload' button for file textures?

what is the pyhton command equivalent of clicking the “reload” button on the file tab of the attribute editor, to re-load an updated txeture image?

You can reload just by setting the attribute “fileTextureName” on a file node to whatever it’s already set to.

texture_path = pm.getAttr(the_file_node.fileTextureName)
pm.setAttr(the_file_node.fileTextureName, texture_path)

thanks!
