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

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

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.

--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.

-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.
