apk‐search(8)               System Manager’s Manual              apk‐search(8)

NAME
       apk search ‐ search for packages by name or description

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

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

OPTIONS
       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).
