FLATPAK-INFO(1)

💖 FLATPAK INFO(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the flatpak info page — part of the flatpak manual, and honestly? it's giving detective energy. 🔍✨

---

✨ NAME ✨

flatpak-info — show information about an installed application or runtime 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

flatpak info [OPTION...] NAME [BRANCH]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so basically: this shows you info about an installed application or runtime. that's it, that's the whole vibe. 👑

by default, the output is formatted in a friendly format. but the second you pass any of the --show-... or --file-access options? nope, the output flips to a machine-readable format instead. glow-up but for robots. 🤖✨

by default, both per-user and system-wide installations get queried. want to change that? use the --user, --system or --installation options. slay, you're in control. 💅

---

💜 OPTIONS 💜

here's everything this thing understands, no gatekeeping:

• -h, --help — show help options and dip. ✌️
• -u, --user — query per-user installations.
• --system — query the default system-wide installation.
• --installation=NAME — query a system-wide installation by NAME, from the ones defined in /etc/flatpak/installations.d/. heads up: using --installation=default is literally the same thing as using --system. same energy, different name. 💫
• --arch=ARCH — query for this architecture. peep flatpak --supported-arches for the architectures your host supports. 🏗️
• -r, --show-ref — show the installed ref.
• -o, --show-origin — show the remote the ref is installed from.
• -c, --show-commit — show the installed commit id.
• -s, --show-size — show the installed size.
• -m, --show-metadata — show the metadata.
• --show-runtime — show the runtime.
• --show-sdk — show the SDK.
• -M, --show-permissions — show the permissions. 👀
• --file-access=PATH — show the level of access to the given PATH.
• -e, --show-extensions — show the matching extensions.
• -l, --show-location — show the on-disk location of the app or runtime. check the examples below, bestie. 📁
• -v, --verbose — print debug information during command processing.
