+# NAME
+
+apk add - add packages to _world_ and commit changes
+
+# SYNOPSIS
+
+*apk add* [<_options_>...] _packages_...
+
+# DESCRIPTION
+
+*apk add* adds the requested packages to _world_ and installs (or upgrades)
+them if not already present, ensuring all dependencies are met.
+
+# OPTIONS
+
+## COMMIT OPTIONS
+
+*apk add* commits the database, and supports the same options as other commit
+operations.
+
+*-s, --simulate*
+	Simulate the requested operation without making any changes.
+
+*--clean-protected*
+	Do not create .apk-new files in configuration directories.
+
+*--overlay-from-stdin*
+	Read list of overlay files from stdin.
+
+*--no-scripts*
+	Do not execute any scripts.
+
+*--no-commit-hooks*
+	Skip pre/post hook scripts (but not other scripts).
+
+*--initramfs-diskless-boot*
+	Enables options for diskless initramfs boot (e.g. skip hooks).
+
+## ADD OPTIONS
+
+The following options affect the *add* operation.
+
+*--initdb*
+	Initialize a new package database.
+
+*-l, --latest*
+	Disables normal heuristics for choosing which repository to install a
+	package from, preferring only repositories from which the latest
+	version is available. This has no effect on pinned packages.
+
+*-u, --upgrade*
+	When adding packages which are already installed, upgrade them rather
+	than considering the requirement fulfilled by the current installation.
+
+*-t, --virtual* _NAME_
+	Instead of adding the specified packages to _world_, create a new
+	virtual package with the listed packages as its dependencies, then add
+	that package to _world_.
+
+	The packages requested are added as transitive dependencies of the
+	virtual package, and by deleting that package the *apk add* operation
+	may be easily reverted later.
