apk-search - Man Page

apk search [<options>.​.​.​] pattern.​.​.​

apk search searches all repositories for packages matching at least one pattern.​ If no pattern is given, it lists all packages in the repository.​ A pattern matches if it is a case-sensitive substring of the package name.​

In addition to the global options (see apk(8)), apk search supports the following options:

-a,  --all

Print all matching package versions.​ By default, apk only shows the latest version.​

-d,  --description

Also search for pattern in the package description.​ By default, apk does not search package descriptions.​

-e,  -x,  --exact

Match package names exactly.​

--has-origin

Match by package origin.​ Shows all packages whose base package name matches pattern exactly.​ Implies --all and --exact.​

-o,  --origin

Print base package name.​

-r,  --rdepends

Print reverse dependencies (other packages which depend on the package).​
