+ <para>
+ flatpak creates a sandboxed environment for the application to run in
+ by mounting the right runtime at <filename>/usr</filename> and a writable
+ directory at <filename>/var</filename>, whose content is preserved between
+ application runs. The application itself is mounted at <filename>/app</filename>.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ The details of the sandboxed environment are controlled by the application
+ metadata and various options like --share and --socket that are passed to the run
+ command: Access is allowed if it was requested either in the application
+ metadata file or with an option and the user hasn't overridden it.
