NAME

              distrobox-host-exec

DESCRIPTION

       distrobox-host-exec lets one execute command on the host, while inside of a container.

       If “flatpak-spawn” is installed in the container, this is what is used, and it is the most
       powerful and recommended method.  If, instead, “flatpak-spawn” can’t be  found,  it  still
       try to get the job done with “host-spawn”, an alternative project.

SYNOPSIS

       Just pass to “distrobox-host-exec” any command and all its arguments, if any.

              distrobox-host-exec [command [arguments]]

              --help/-h:      show this message
              --verbose/-v:       show more verbosity
              --version/-V:       show version

       If no command is provided, it will execute “$SHELL”.

       Alternatively, use symlinks to make distrobox-host-exec execute as that command:

              ~$: ln -s /usr/bin/distrobox-host-exec /usr/local/bin/podman
              ~$: ls -l /usr/local/bin/podman
              lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 51 Jul 11 19:26 /usr/local/bin/podman -> /usr/bin/distrobox-host-exec
              ~$: podman version
              ...this is executed on host...

EXAMPLES

              distrobox-host-exec ls
              distrobox-host-exec bash -l
              distrobox-host-exec flatpak run org.mozilla.firefox
