apk-fetch(8)

NAME

apk fetch - download packages from global repositories to a local directory

SYNOPSIS

apk fetch [<options>...] packages...

DESCRIPTION

apk fetch downloads the requested packages from the configured package repositories (see apk-repositories(5)) to a local directory. The current working directory is used as the destination directory unless -o is specified.

OPTIONS

-L, --link
    Create hard links if possible.

-o, --output DIR
    Write the downloaded file(s) to DIR.

-R, --recursive
    Fetch packages and all of their dependencies.

-s, --stdout
    Dump the .apk file(s) to stdout.

    Note: this option is incompatible with -o, -R, and the global --progress option.

-w, --world
    Download packages needed to satisfy world. Implies --recursive.

--simulate
    Simulate the requested operation without making any changes.

    Note: this option is unreliable if needed indexes are not up-to-date as this omits refresing or downloading of missing indexes.

--url
    Print the full URL for downloaded packages.
