The second one sounds like it. Just a hose that clamps onto the brake
bleeder screw, the other end in the jar. A check valve at the jar end keeps
air from going back up the hose. Attach the hose, open the bleeder screw
a bit, and start pumping. After a few strokes, or 5, or 6... tighten the bleeder,
pop off the hose, and you're done (or move to the next wheel).

Don't forget to check and top-up the master cylinder while you're doing this,
otherwise you'll suck in more air, and have to start all over again.
