apk-cache(8)
# NAME
apk cache - manage a local cache of package files
# SYNOPSIS
*apk cache* [<_options_>...] clean
*apk cache* [<_options_>...] download
*apk cache* [<_options_>...] sync
# DESCRIPTION
*apk cache download* will fetch package files from the repositories and store
them in the cache, which must be enabled upfront (see *apk-cache*(5)).
*apk cache clean* will remove package files which are no longer necessary,
having been made obsolete by new versions or no longer being transitively
depended on by packages in _world_.
*apk cache sync* performs both operations.
# OPTIONS
*-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 caching packages which are already installed, prefer their upgrades
rather than considering the requirement fulfilled by the current
installation.
