apk-version - Man Page

apk version [<options>.​.​.​] [packages.​.​.​]

apk version -c versions.​.​.​

apk version -t version1 version2

apk version -I

apk version compares the versions of installed packages against package versions available from repositories (see apk-repositories(5)).​ It can also be used to validate and compare version strings.​

In default mode, if no packages are specified, all installed packages are considered.​ Otherwise, the comparison is limited to the explicitly listed packages.​ A summary is printed on stdout, with the difference between package versions being represented as >, =, or <.​

Options -c, -I, and -t are mutually exclusive.​

These options only apply when checking installed package versions against packages available from the repositories (when neither -c, -t, nor -I are specified).​

-a,  --all

Consider packages from all repository tags.​

-c,  --check versions.​.​.​

Check versions for validity.​ If a given version is invalid, it is printed.​ Exits with status code zero if all versions are valid, and non-zero otherwise.​

-I,  --indexes

Print the version and description for each repository's index.​ See apk-repositories(5) for more information.​

-l,  --limit operand

Limit to packages with output matching given operand.​ The operand can be specified as any combination of >, =, and <.​

-t,  --test version1 version2

Compare two version strings.​ Does not consult the database.​ Prints one of >, =, or <, if version1 is, respectively, greater than, equal to, or lesser than version2.​
