flatpak-enter - Enter an application

flatpak enter [OPTION...] INSTANCE COMMAND [ARG...]

Enter a running sandbox. INSTANCE must be either the pid of a process running in a flatpak sandbox, or the ID of a running application or a the instance ID of a running sandbox. COMMAND is the command to run in the sandbox. Extra arguments are passed on to the command.

This command requires extra privileges, so must be run as root or via e.g. sudo. To get TAB completion for the application ID, use sudo -E.

-h, --help

Show help options and exit.

-v, --verbose

Print debug information during command processing.
