apk-version(8)
# NAME
apk version - compare package versions
# SYNOPSIS
*apk version* [<_options_>...] [_packages_...]
*apk version* -c _versions_...
*apk version* -t _left_ _right_
*apk version* -I
# DESCRIPTION
*apk version* compares the versions of installed packages against package
versions available from repositories (see *apk-repositories*(5)). If no
packages are specified, all installed packages are considered. Otherwise,
the comparison is limited to the explicitly listed packages. A summary is
printed on stdout, with the difference between package versions being
represented as *>*, *=*, or *<*.
*apk version -c* tests the specified version string(s) for validity and prints
a list of _invalid_ version strings. If all version strings are valid, nothing
is printed and *apk version* exits with status code zero. If one or more
version strings are invalid, the exit code is nonzero.
*apk version -t* accepts two arbitrary version strings and compares them
without consulting the database, then prints the result as *>*, *=*, or *<*.
*apk version -I* prints the versions and descriptions of each repository's
index. See *apk-repositories*(5) for more information.
# OPTIONS
These options only apply when checking installed package versions against
packages available from the repositories (when neither *-c*, *-t*, nor *-I* are
specified).
*-a*
Consider packages from all repository tags.
*-l* _operand_
Limit output to packages whose comparison is among the given operands,
specified as any combination of *>*, *=*, and *<*.
