NAME

6       flatpak-spawn - Run commands in a sandbox
7

SYNOPSIS

9       flatpak-spawn [OPTION...] COMMAND [ARGUMENT...]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Unlike other flatpak commands, flatpak-spawn is available to
13       applications inside the sandbox. It runs COMMAND outside the sandbox,
14       either in another sandbox, or on the host.
15
16       flatpak-spawn uses the Flatpak portal to create a copy the sandbox it
17       was called from, optionally using tighter permissions and the latest
18       version of the app and runtime.

44
45       --no-network
46           Run without network access
47
48       --sandbox
49           Run fully sandboxed.
50
51           See the --sandbox-expose and --sandbox-expose-ro options for
52           selective file access.
53
54       --sandbox-expose=NAME
55           Expose read-write access to a file in the sandbox.
56
57           Note that absolute paths or subdirectories are not allowed. The
58           files must be in the sandbox subdirectory of the instance directory
59           (i.e.  ~/.var/app/$APP_ID/sandbox).
60
61           This option is useful in combination with --sandbox (otherwise the
62           instance directory is accessible anyway).
63
64       --sandbox-expose-ro=NAME
65           Expose readonly access to a file in the sandbox.
66
67           Note that absolute paths or subdirectories are not allowed. The
68           files must be in the sandbox subdirectory of the instance directory
69           (i.e.  ~/.var/app/$APP_ID/sandbox).
70
71           This option is useful in combination with --sandbox (otherwise the
72           instance directory is accessible anyway).
73
74       --host
75           Run the command unsandboxed on the host. This requires access to
76           the org.freedesktop.Flatpak D-Bus interface
77
78       --directory=DIR
79           The working directory in which to run the command.
80
81           Note that the given directory must exist in the sandbox or, when
82           used in conjunction with --host, on the host.
