NAME
       apk  fetch  ‐ download packages from global repositories to a local di‐
       rectory

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

DESCRIPTION
       apk fetch downloads the requested packages from the configured  package
       repositories  (see  apk‐repositories(5)) to a local directory. The cur‐
       rent working directory is used as the destination directory  unless  ‐o
       is specified.

OPTIONS
       ‐‐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.
