FLATPAK-PERMISSION-REMOVE(1)

💅 flatpak-permission-remove — bestie edition

okay so. we're looking at flatpak-permission-remove, aka the part of flatpak(1) that yeets permissions out of the permission store. yes it's giving spring cleaning. yes it's iconic. let's get into it 🧹✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

flatpak permission-remove [OPTION...] TABLE ID [APP_ID]

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

So what this does is remove an entry for the object with id ID from the permission store table TABLE. That's the whole vibe. Bye bye, entry. 🫶

Important: ID has to be in a suitable format for the table you're pointing at. Every table's got its own little language, and if you speak the wrong one, it's not gonna work. no cap.

If you also pass APP_ID, then only the entry for that application gets removed. So instead of nuking everybody's entry, you're just doing a lil surgical removal for one app. main character precision 💅

Now, context: the permission store is what portals use. Each portal generally has its own table in the permission store, and the format of the table entries is specific to each portal. So like… the format is not universal, bestie, it's per-portal. iykyk. 🦋

✨ OPTIONS ✨

The following options are understood:

• -h, --help — show help options and exit. your classic "wait what was I doing" button 🙈
• -v, --verbose — print debug information during command processing. for when you wanna see everything that's happening 🔍
• --ostree-verbose — print OSTree debug information during command processing. extra crunchy debug mode, for the OSTree girlies ⭐
