<title>Description</title>
<para>
Flatpak maintains a list of patterns that define which refs are masked.
A masked ref will never be updated or automatically installed (for example a
masked extension marked auto-download will not be downloaded). You can still
manually install such refs, but once they are installed the version will be pinned.
</para>
<para>
The patterns are just a partial ref, with the * character matching anything
within that part of the ref. Here are some example patterns:
<programlisting>
org.some.App
org.some.App//unstable
app/org.domain.*
org.some.App/arm
</programlisting>
</para>
<para>
To list the current set of masks, run this command without any patterns.
