NAME
flatpak-document-export - Export a file to a sandboxed application
SYNOPSIS
flatpak document-export [OPTION...] FILE
DESCRIPTION
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/.
This command also lets you modify the per-application permissions of the documents, granting or revoking access to the file on a per-application basis.

The document will only exist for the length of the session. This is useful for temporary grants.
- -n, --noexist
-
Don't require the file to exist already.
