6 distrobox-host-exec lets one execute command on the host, while inside
7 of a container.
8
9 If “flatpak-spawn” is installed in the container, this is what is used,
10 and it is the most powerful and recommended method. If, instead,
11 “flatpak-spawn” can’t be found, it still try to get the job done with
12 “chroot” (but beware that not all commands/programs will work well in
13 this mode).
14
15 Just pass to “distrobox-host-exec” any command and all its arguments,
16 if any.
17
18 distrobox-host-exec [command [arguments]]
19
20 If no command is provided, it will execute “/bin/sh”.
21
22 Example usage:
23
24 distrobox-host-exec ls
25 distrobox-host-exec bash -l
26 distrobox-host-exec flatpak run org.mozilla.firefox
27 distrobox-host-exec podman ps -a
