NAME

       flatpak-build-finish - Finalize a build directory

SYNOPSIS

       flatpak build-finish [OPTION...] DIRECTORY

DESCRIPTION

       Finalizes a build directory, to prepare it for exporting.  DIRECTORY is the name of the directory.

       The result of this command is that desktop files, icons and D-Bus service files from the files
       subdirectory are copied to a new export subdirectory. In the metadata file, the command key is set in the
       [Application] group, and the supported keys in the [Environment] group are set according to the options.

       As part of finalization you can also specify permissions that the app needs, using the various options
       specified below. Additionally during finalization the permissions from the runtime are inherited into the
       app unless you specify --no-inherit-permissions

       You should review the exported files and the application metadata before creating and distributing an
       application bundle.

       It is an error to run build-finish on a directory that has not been initialized as a build directory, or
       has already been finalized.

OPTIONS

       The following options are understood:

       -h, --help
           Show help options and exit.

       --command=COMMAND
           The command to use. If this option is not specified, the first executable found in files/bin is used.

       --require-version=MAJOR.MINOR.MICRO
           Require this version of later of flatpak to install/update to this build.

       --share=SUBSYSTEM
           Share a subsystem with the host session. This updates the [Context] group in the metadata. SUBSYSTEM
           must be one of: network, ipc. This option can be used multiple times.

       --unshare=SUBSYSTEM
           Don't share a subsystem with the host session. This updates the [Context] group in the metadata.
           SUBSYSTEM must be one of: network, ipc. This option can be used multiple times.

       --socket=SOCKET
           Expose a well-known socket to the application. This updates the [Context] group in the metadata.
           SOCKET must be one of: x11, wayland, fallback-x11, pulseaudio, system-bus, session-bus, ssh-auth.
           This option can be used multiple times.

           The fallback-x11 option makes the X11 socket available only if there is no Wayland socket. This
           option was introduced in 0.11.3. To support older Flatpak releases, specify both x11 and
           fallback-x11. The fallback-x11 option takes precedence when both are supported.

       --nosocket=SOCKET
           Don't expose a well known socket to the application. This updates the [Context] group in the
           metadata. SOCKET must be one of: x11, wayland, fallback-x11, pulseaudio, system-bus, session-bus,
           ssh-auth. This option can be used multiple times.

       --device=DEVICE
           Expose a device to the application. This updates the [Context] group in the metadata. DEVICE must be
           one of: dri, kvm, all. This option can be used multiple times.

       --nodevice=DEVICE
           Don't expose a device to the application. This updates the [Context] group in the metadata. DEVICE
           must be one of: dri, kvm, all. This option can be used multiple times.

       --allow=FEATURE
           Allow access to a specific feature. This updates the [Context] group in the metadata. FEATURE must be
           one of: devel, multiarch, bluetooth, canbus. This option can be used multiple times.

           The devel feature allows the application to access certain syscalls such as ptrace(), and
           perf_event_open().

           The multiarch feature allows the application to execute programs compiled for an ABI other than the
           one supported natively by the system. For example, for the x86_64 architecture, 32-bit x86 binaries
           will be allowed as well.

           The bluetooth feature allows the application to use bluetooth (AF_BLUETOOTH) sockets. Note, for
           bluetooth to fully work you must also have network access.

           The canbus feature allows the application to use canbus (AF_CAN) sockets. Note, for this work you
           must also have network access.

       --disallow=FEATURE
           Disallow access to a specific feature. This updates the [Context] group in the metadata. FEATURE must
           be one of: devel, multiarch, bluetooth, canbus. This option can be used multiple times.

       --filesystem=FS
           Allow the application access to a subset of the filesystem. This updates the [Context] group in the
           metadata. FS can be one of: home, host, xdg-desktop, xdg-documents, xdg-download xdg-music,
           xdg-pictures, xdg-public-share, xdg-templates, xdg-videos, xdg-run, xdg-config, xdg-cache, xdg-data,
           an absolute path, or a homedir-relative path like ~/dir or paths relative to the xdg dirs, like
           xdg-download/subdir. The optional :ro suffix indicates that the location will be read-only. The
           optional :create suffix indicates that the location will be read-write and created if it doesn't
           exist. This option can be used multiple times.

       --nofilesystem=FILESYSTEM
           Remove access to the specified subset of the filesystem from the application. This overrides to the
           Context section from the application metadata. FILESYSTEM can be one of: home, host, xdg-desktop,
           xdg-documents, xdg-download xdg-music, xdg-pictures, xdg-public-share, xdg-templates, xdg-videos, an
           absolute path, or a homedir-relative path like ~/dir. This option can be used multiple times.

       --add-policy=SUBSYSTEM.KEY=VALUE
           Add generic policy option. For example, "--add-policy=subsystem.key=v1 --add-policy=subsystem.key=v2"
           would map to this metadata:

               [Policy subsystem]
               key=v1;v2;

           This option can be used multiple times.

       --remove-policy=SUBSYSTEM.KEY=VALUE
           Remove generic policy option. This option can be used multiple times.

       --env=VAR=VALUE
           Set an environment variable in the application. This updates the [Environment] group in the metadata.
           This overrides to the Context section from the application metadata. This option can be used multiple
           times.

       --env-fd=FD
           Read environment variables from the file descriptor FD, and set them as if via --env. This can be
           used to avoid environment variables and their values becoming visible to other users.

           Each environment variable is in the form VAR=VALUE followed by a zero byte. This is the same format
           used by env -0 and /proc/*/environ.

       --own-name=NAME
           Allow the application to own the well known name NAME on the session bus. If NAME ends with .*, it
           allows the application to own all matching names. This updates the [Session Bus Policy] group in the
           metadata. This option can be used multiple times.

       --talk-name=NAME
           Allow the application to talk to the well known name NAME on the session bus. If NAME ends with .*,
           it allows the application to talk to all matching names. This updates the [Session Bus Policy] group
           in the metadata. This option can be used multiple times.

       --system-own-name=NAME
           Allow the application to own the well known name NAME on the system bus. If NAME ends with .*, it
           allows the application to own all matching names. This updates the [System Bus Policy] group in the
           metadata. This option can be used multiple times.

       --system-talk-name=NAME
           Allow the application to talk to the well known name NAME on the system bus. If NAME ends with .*, it
           allows the application to talk to all matching names. This updates the [System Bus Policy] group in
           the metadata. This option can be used multiple times.

       --persist=FILENAME
           If the application doesn't have access to the real homedir, make the (homedir-relative) path FILENAME
           a bind mount to the corresponding path in the per-application directory, allowing that location to be
           used for persistent data. This updates the [Context] group in the metadata. This option can be used
           multiple times.

       --runtime=RUNTIME, --sdk=SDK
           Change the runtime or sdk used by the app to the specified partial ref. Unspecified parts of the ref
           are taken from the old values or defaults.

       --metadata=GROUP=KEY[=VALUE]
           Set a generic key in the metadata file. If value is left out it will be set to "true".

       --extension=NAME=VARIABLE[=VALUE]
           Add extension point info. See the documentation for flatpak-metadata(5) for the possible values of
           VARIABLE and VALUE.

       --remove-extension=NAME
           Remove extension point info.

       --extension-priority=VALUE
           Set the priority (library override order) of the extension point. Only useful for extensions. 0 is
           the default, and higher value means higher priority.

       --extra-data=NAME:SHA256:DOWNLOAD-SIZE:INSTALL-SIZE:URL
           Adds information about extra data uris to the app. These will be downloaded and verified by the
           client when the app is installed and placed in the /app/extra directory. You can also supply an
           /app/bin/apply_extra script that will be run after the files are downloaded.

       --no-exports
           Don't look for exports in the build.

       --no-inherit-permissions
           Don't inherit runtime permissions in the app.

       -v, --verbose
           Print debug information during command processing.

       --ostree-verbose
           Print OSTree debug information during command processing.
