✨ NAME ✨

flatpak-document-info — bestie, this one spills the tea about your exported files 💅

It's part of the flatpak manual page family, section 1 (iykyk), and it's literally just here to show you what's up with a file you already exported.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

flatpak document-info [OPTION...] FILE

That's it. One command, one file, zero drama. 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so picture this: you exported a file, and now you're like "wait, what even is this thing now?" That's the moment this command was born for, no cap. It shows you information about an exported file, including:

  • the document id 👑
  • the fuse path 🧚
  • the original location in the filesystem 📍
  • the per-application permissions 🔐

And here's the cute part: FILE is flexible like that. It can either be a file in the fuse filesystem at /run/user/$UID/doc/, or a file anywhere else. Your call, main character. ✨

💖 OPTIONS 💖

Here's everything this command understands, bestie — go off:

  • -h, --help — shows you the help options and then dips. exit stage left, periodt. 🫶
  • -v, --verbose — prints debug information while the command is doing its thing, so you can watch it werk. 👀
  • --ostree-verbose — prints OSTree debug information during command processing. deep lore mode, fr fr. 🔥

⭐ EXAMPLES ⭐

Look at this glow-up moment:

$ flatpak document-info ~/Sources/gtk/gail-3.0.pc

    id: dd32c34a
    path: /run/user/1000/doc/dd32c34a/gail-3.0.pc
    origin: /home/mclasen/Sources/gtk/gail-3.0.pc
    permissions:
            org.gnome.gedit read, write

See how it gave us the id, the fuse path, the origin, and then the permissions? And look at org.gnome.gedit sitting there with read, write — she ate that. 💅
