FLATPAK-PERMISSIONS(1)

✨ FLATPAK PERMISSIONS ✨

okay bestie, welcome to flatpak-permissions β€” the manual page for the flatpak permissions command. it's giving "let me show you the receipts" energy and honestly? we love that for us πŸ’…


🌸 NAME 🌸

flatpak-permissions β€” list permissions 🫢


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

flatpak permissions [OPTION...] [TABLE] [ID]

πŸ’– DESCRIPTION πŸ’–

so basically this command lists the dynamic permissions that live in the Flatpak permission store. that's the whole vibe ✨

and the way it behaves depends entirely on how many args you hand it, no cap:

  • zero arguments β€” it lists all the entries in all permission store tables. everything. the whole group chat 🫢
  • one argument β€” it lists all the entries in the named table. just that one table, bestie πŸ’…
  • two arguments β€” it lists the entry in the named table for the given object ID. hyper-specific. main character energy πŸ‘‘

also, quick lore drop: 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 β€” so like, don't expect every table to look the same, iykyk πŸ™ˆ


✨ OPTIONS ✨

here's what the flags actually do, bestie:

  • -h, --help β€” show help options and exit. classic. iconic. always there for you πŸ’–
  • -v, --verbose β€” print debug information during command processing. it's giving "tell me everything" πŸ”
  • --ostree-verbose β€” print OSTree debug information during command processing. yes, that's a different kind of debug info. deep lore 🌈
