APK2SOLV(1)

✨ APK2SOLV(1) — LIBSOLV manual ✨

💖 NAME

okay so apk2solv is the tool that takes one or more apk package files and turns them into a solv file 🫶 - convert apk packages into a solv file, bestie 🦋

🎀 SYNOPSIS

apk2solv [OPTIONS] PKG1.apk ...

🌸 DESCRIPTION

okay this one is giving main character energy 💅 the apk2solv tool grabs the meta data from one or more Apk packages and writes the solv file out to standard output 🔥

• -m MANIFESTFILE: reads the rpm file names from the MANIFESTFILE you pass in ✨ you can also use - to read the manifest from standard input, so chic 🧚
• -0: uses a null byte as the line terminator for manifest files instead of a newline 🙈 this is so useful when file names can have newlines in them, and it's giving the same vibe as the -print0 option in find 🍓
• -C: adds the apk checksum to the meta data 💜
• -r: turns on repository metadata mode 🌈 the file you give it isn't an apk package, it's a file full of repository metadata (like APKINDEX.tar.gz) 💀
• -l: turns on local database mode 👑 the file isn't an apk package either, it's a database file with info about the installed packages (like /lib/apk/db/installed) 🦋
