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
In addition to the global options (see apk(8)), and query options (see apk-query(8)) the following options are supported:
- --built-after TIMESPEC
-
Only fetch packages that have buildtime more recent than TIMESPEC. TIMESPEC can be a "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS" date, or seconds since epoch.
- --link, -l
-
Create hard links if possible.
- --pkgname-spec PKGNAME_SPEC
-
Generate downloaded package names with PKGNAME_SPEC specification. Does not work with --prune unless the specification starts with ${name}[-_.].
- --output, -o DIR
-
Write the downloaded file(s) to DIR.
- --simulate[=BOOL]
-
Simulate the requested operation without making any changes.
Note: this option is unreliable if needed indexes are not up-to-date as this omits refreshing or downloading of missing indexes.
- --stdout, -s
-
Dump the .apk file(s) to stdout.
Note: this option is incompatible with -o, -R, and the global --progress option.
- --url
-
Print the full URL for downloaded packages.
