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.

40           sandbox

43           Run without network access
44
45       --sandbox
46           Run fully sandboxed.
47
48           See the --sandbox-expose and --sandbox-expose-ro options for
49           selective file access.
50
51       --sandbox-expose=NAME
52           Expose read-write access to a file in the sandbox.
53
54           Note that absolute paths or subdirectories are not allowed. The
55           files must be in the sandbox subdirectory of the instance directory
56           (i.e.  ~/.var/app/$APP_ID/sandbox).
57
58           This option is useful in combination with --sandbox (otherwise the
59           instance diretory is accessible anyway).
60
61       --sandbox-expose-ro=NAME
62           Expose readonly access to a file in the sandbox.
63
64           Note that absolute paths or subdirectories are not allowed. The
65           files must be in the sandbox subdirectory of the instance directory
66           (i.e.  ~/.var/app/$APP_ID/sandbox).
67
68           This option is useful in combination with --sandbox (otherwise the
69           instance diretory is accessible anyway).
70
71       --host
72           Run the command unsandboxed on the host. This requires access to
73           the org.freedesktop.Flatpak D-Bus interface
