apk-fetch - Man Page

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.​

-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.​

--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.​
