flatpak Developer Alexander Larsson alexl@redhat.com flatpak export-file 1 flatpak-export-file Export a file to a sandboxed application flatpak export-file OPTION FILE Creates a document identifier for a local file that can be exposed to sandboxed applications, allowing them access to files that they would not otherwise see. This command also lets you modify the per-application permissions of the documents, granting access to the file on a per-application basis. The following options are understood: -h --help Show help options and exit. --unique Don't reuse an existing document id for the file. This makes it safe to later remove the document when you're finished with it. --transient The document will only exist for the length of the session. This is useful for temporary grants. --app=APPID Grant read access to the specified application. --allow-write Also grant write access to the applications specified with --app. --allow-delete Also grant the ability to delete a document id to the applications specified with --app. --allow-grant-permission Also grant the ability further grant permissions to the applications specified with --app. -v --verbose Print debug information during command processing. --version Print version information and exit. $ flatpak export-file --app=org.gnome.GEdit ~/test.txt /run/user/1000/doc/e52f9c6a/test.txt flatpak1 flatpak-run1
