<title>Description</title>
<para>
Finalizes a build directory, to prepare it for exporting.
<arg choice="plain">DIRECTORY</arg> is the name of the directory.
</para>
<para>
The result of this command is that desktop files, icons, D-Bus service
files, and AppStream metainfo files from the <filename>files</filename>
subdirectory are copied to a new <filename>export</filename> subdirectory.
In the <filename>metadata</filename> file, the command key is set in the
[Application] group, and the supported keys in the [Environment]
group are set according to the options.
</para>
<para>
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 <option>--no-inherit-permissions</option>
</para>
<para>
You should review the exported files and the application metadata
before creating and distributing an application bundle.
</para>
<para>
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.

<listitem><para>
The command to use. If this option is not specified,
the first executable found in <filename>files/bin</filename>
is used.
</para><para>
Note that the command is used when the application is run
via <command>flatpak run</command>, and does not affect what
gets executed when the application is run in other ways,
e.g. via the desktop file or D-Bus activation.
</para></listitem>

the [Context] group in the metadata.
SUBSYSTEM must be one of: network, ipc.
This option can be used multiple times.
</para></listitem>

<varlistentry>
<term><option>--unshare=SUBSYSTEM</option></term>

<listitem><para>
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, pcsc, cups, gpg-agent, inherit-wayland-socket.

</para><para>
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.
</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>

</para><para>
The <code>devel</code> feature allows the application to
access certain syscalls such as <code>ptrace()</code>, and
<code>perf_event_open()</code>.
</para><para>
The <code>multiarch</code> feature allows the application to
execute programs compiled for an ABI other than the one supported
natively by the system. For example, for the <code>x86_64</code>
architecture, 32-bit <code>x86</code> binaries will be allowed as
well.
</para><para>
The <code>bluetooth</code> feature allows the application to
use bluetooth (AF_BLUETOOTH) sockets. Note, for bluetooth to
fully work you must also have network access.
</para>
<para>
The <code>canbus</code> feature allows the application to
use canbus (AF_CAN) sockets.
Note, for this work you must also have network access.
</para>
<para>

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.
