db.collection.update( criteria, objNew, upsert, multi ) 

Refer to update

I have seen the following usage of {} inside update as a criteria.

collection.update({}, {$push : { x : 1}})

What is the meaning of {} here? Does it mean no criteria?

    The first argument to update specifies criteria used to find documents to be updated. Setting the first argument to {}, will match against every document in the collection. By default, only the first match will be updated. To update all matched documents, set multi to true.
