flatpak-document-export - Man Page

flatpak document-export [OPTION...] FILE

Creates a document id for a local file that can be exposed to sandboxed applications, allowing them access to files that they would not otherwise see​. The exported files are exposed in a fuse filesystem at /run/user/$UID/doc/​.

The following options are understood:

-n,  --noexist

Don't require the file to exist already​.
