flatpak-spawn - Run commands in a sandbox
flatpak-spawn [OPTION...] COMMAND [ARGUMENT...]
Unlike other flatpak commands, flatpak-spawn is available to applications inside the sandbox. It runs COMMAND outside the sandbox: either in another sandbox, or on the host. When called without --host, flatpak-spawn uses the Flatpak portal to create a copy of the sandbox it was called from, optionally using tighter permissions and optionally the latest version of the app and runtime (see --latest-version).
The following options are understood: -h, --help Show help options and exit. -v, --verbose Print debug information --forward-fd=FD Forward a file descriptor --clear-env Run with a clean environment --watch-bus Make the spawned command exit if the caller disappears from the session bus --env=VAR=VALUE Set an environment variable --latest-version Use the latest version of the refs that are used to set up the sandbox --no-network Run without network access --sandbox Run fully sandboxed. See the documentation for the --sandbox option in flatpak-run(1) See the --sandbox-expose and --sandbox-expose-ro options for selective file access. --sandbox-expose=NAME Expose read-write access to a file in the sandbox. Note that absolute paths or subdirectories are not allowed. The files must be in the sandbox subdirectory of the instance directory (i.e. ~/.var/app/$APP_ID/sandbox). This option is useful in combination with --sandbox (otherwise the instance directory is accessible anyway). --sandbox-expose-ro=NAME Expose readonly access to a file in the sandbox. Note that absolute paths or subdirectories are not allowed. The files must be in the sandbox subdirectory of the instance directory (i.e. ~/.var/app/$APP_ID/sandbox). This option is useful in combination with --sandbox (otherwise the instance directory is accessible anyway). --host Run the command unsandboxed on the host. This requires access to the org.freedesktop.Flatpak D-Bus interface. --directory=DIR The working directory in which to run the command. Note that the given directory must exist in the sandbox or, when used in conjunction with --host, on the host.
