NAME
       apk upgrade - upgrade installed packages

SYNOPSIS
       apk upgrade [<options>...] [<packages>...]

DESCRIPTION
       apk upgrade upgrades installed packages to the latest version available
       from configured package repositories (see apk-repositories(5)). When no
       packages are specified, all packages are upgraded if possible. If list
       of packages is provided, only those packages are upgraded along with
       needed dependencies.

OPTIONS
       apk upgrade supports the commit options described in apk(8), as well as
       the following options:

       -a, --available
           Reset all packages to versions available from current repositories.
           This resets all versioned dependencies in world (see apk-world(5)).
           Additionally, packages are selected from active repositories if
           possible even if it means replacing or downgrading the package.

           This is useful to reset system against new set of packages after
           updating repositories.

       --ignore
           Upgrade all other packages than the ones listed. This inverts the
           given package name list to mean packages that should not be
           upgraded.

       -l, --latest
           Always choose the latest package by version. However, the versions
           considered are based on the package pinning. Primarily this
           overrides the default heuristic and will cause an error to
           displayed if all dependencies cannot be satisfied.

       --no-self-upgrade
           Do not do an early upgrade of the 'apk-tools' package.

       --prune
           Prune the world by removing packages which are no longer available
           from any configured repository.

       --self-upgrade-only
           Only perform a self-upgrade of the 'apk-tools' package.
