💖 apk list (apk-list(8)) 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

apk list — list packages matching a pattern or other criteria. It’s giving main character energy for package-hunting, fr fr. ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

apk list [<options>...] pattern...

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Okay so bestie, here’s the tea: apk list searches package indices for packages matching the given patterns and prints any matching packages. No cap, it’s literally that useful. 💖

The patterns are matched with fnmatch(3), which behaves similarly to shell globbing. If you already vibe with shell globs, you’re lowkey set — iykyk. 🐚✨

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

On top of the global options (see apk(8)) and the query options (see apk-query(8)), these are the supported options, bestie:

• --available, -a — consider only available packages. Available-only era, no cap. ✨
• --depends, -d — list packages by dependency. It’s giving dependency-drama realness. 💅
• --installed, -I — consider only installed packages. Already-on-your-system energy. 🏠
• --manifest — list installed packages in format <name> <version>. Literally that exact format, periodt. 📝
• --origin, -o — list packages by origin. Origin story vibes. 🌍
• --orphaned, -O — consider only orphaned packages. Lonely-package main character energy 🥺
• --providers, -P — list packages by provider. Provider check, slay. 🤝
• --upgradable, --upgradeable, -u — consider only upgradable packages. Glow-up candidates only. 🔥

That’s the whole page, bestie! Sending love from the System Manager’s Manual, apk-list(8) edition, dated 2026-11-02 — periodt. 💅🫶
