Functions
Description
FlatpakInstallation is the toplevel object that software installers should use to operate on an flatpak applications.
An FlatpakInstallation object provides information about an installation location for flatpak applications. Typical installation locations are either system-wide (in $prefix/var/lib/flatpak) or per-user (in ~/.local/share/flatpak).
FlatpakInstallation can list configured remotes as well as installed application and runtime references (in short: refs), and it can add, remove and modify remotes.
FlatpakInstallation can also run, install, update and uninstall applications and runtimes, but FlatpakTransaction is a better, high-level API for these tasks.
To get a list of all configured installations, use flatpak_get_system_installations(),
together with flatpak_installation_new_user().
The FlatpakInstallation API is threadsafe in the sense that it is safe to run two operations at the same time, in different threads (or processes).
Functions
flatpak_installation_new_system ()
FlatpakInstallation * flatpak_installation_new_system (GCancellable *cancellable,GError **error);
Creates a new FlatpakInstallation for the default system-wide installation.
flatpak_installation_new_system_with_id ()
FlatpakInstallation * flatpak_installation_new_system_with_id (const char *id,GCancellable *cancellable,GError **error);
Creates a new FlatpakInstallation for the system-wide installation id
.
Parameters
id | the ID of the system-wide installation. | [nullable] |
cancellable | a GCancellable. | [nullable] |
error | return location for a GError |
Since: 0.8
flatpak_installation_new_user ()
FlatpakInstallation * flatpak_installation_new_user (GCancellable *cancellable,GError **error);
Creates a new FlatpakInstallation for the per-user installation.
flatpak_installation_new_for_path ()
FlatpakInstallation * flatpak_installation_new_for_path (GFile *path,gboolean user,GCancellable *cancellable,GError **error);
Creates a new FlatpakInstallation for the installation at the given path
.
Parameters
path | a GFile | |
user | whether this is a user-specific location | |
cancellable | a GCancellable. | [nullable] |
error | return location for a GError |
flatpak_installation_get_is_user ()
gboolean
flatpak_installation_get_is_user (FlatpakInstallation *self);Returns whether the installation is for a user-specific location.
flatpak_installation_get_path ()
GFile *
flatpak_installation_get_path (FlatpakInstallation *self);Returns the installation location for self
.
flatpak_installation_create_monitor ()
GFileMonitor * flatpak_installation_create_monitor (FlatpakInstallation *self,GCancellable *cancellable,GError **error);

flatpak_installation_list_installed_refs_for_update ()
GPtrArray * flatpak_installation_list_installed_refs_for_update (FlatpakInstallation *self,GCancellable *cancellable,GError **error);
Lists the installed references that has a remote update that is not locally available. However, even though an app is not returned by this it can have local updates available that has not been deployed. Look at commit vs latest_commit on installed apps for this.
This also checks if any of FlatpakInstalledRef has a missing FlatpakRelatedRef
(which has should-download set to TRUE) or runtime. If so, it adds the
ref to the returning GPtrArray to pull in the FlatpakRelatedRef or runtime
again via an update operation in FlatpakTransaction.
Returns
a GPtrArray of
FlatpakInstalledRef instances, or NULL on error.

Lists all the locally installed refs from remote_name
that are
related to ref
. These are things that are interesting to install,
update, or uninstall together with ref
. For instance, locale data
or debug information.
This function is similar to flatpak_installation_list_remote_related_refs_sync, but instead of looking at what is available on the remote, it only looks at the locally installed refs. This is useful for instance when you're looking for related refs to uninstall, or when you're planning to use FLATPAK_UPDATE_FLAGS_NO_PULL to install previously pulled refs.

Lists all the available refs on remote_name
that are related to
ref
, and the subpaths to use. These are things that are
interesting to install, update, or uninstall together with
ref
. For instance, locale data or debug information.
The returned list contains all available related refs, but not
everyone should always be installed. For example,
flatpak_related_ref_should_download() returns TRUE if the
reference should be installed/updated with the app, and
flatpak_related_ref_should_delete() returns TRUE if it
should be uninstalled with the main ref.
The commit property of each FlatpakRelatedRef is not guaranteed to be
non-NULL.

in ref_file_data
and returns the FlatpakRemoteRef that can be used
to install it.
Note, the FlatpakRemoteRef will not have the commit field set, or other details, to
avoid unnecessary roundtrips. If you need that you have to resolve it
explicitly with flatpak_installation_fetch_remote_ref_sync().
Parameters
self | ||
ref_file_data | The ref file contents | |
cancellable | a GCancellable. | [nullable] |
error | return location for a GError |
Since: 0.6.10
flatpak_installation_drop_caches ()
gboolean flatpak_installation_drop_caches (FlatpakInstallation *self,GCancellable *cancellable,GError **error);
Drops all internal (in-memory) caches. For instance, this may be needed to pick up new or changed remotes configured outside this installation instance.
flatpak_installation_add_remote ()
gboolean flatpak_installation_add_remote (FlatpakInstallation *self,FlatpakRemote *remote,gboolean if_needed,GCancellable *cancellable,GError **error);
Adds a new remote
object to the set of remotes. This is similar
to flatpak_installation_modify_remote() for non-existing remote
names. However, if the named remote already exists then instead of
modifying it it fails with FLATPAK_ERROR_ALREADY_INSTALLED, or if
if_needed
is true it silently succeeds without doing anything.
As an exception to the last, if the local config has a filter defined,
but the new remote unsets the filter (for example, it comes from an
unfiltered .flatpakref via flatpak_remote_new_from_file()) the the local
remote filter gets reset. This is to allow the setup where there is a
default setup of a filtered remote, yet you can still use the standard
flatpakref file to get the full contents without getting two remotes.
Parameters
self | ||
remote | the new FlatpakRemote | |
if_needed | if | |
cancellable | a GCancellable. | [nullable] |
error | return location for a GError |
Since: 1.3.4

gboolean flatpak_installation_cleanup_local_refs_sync (FlatpakInstallation *self,GCancellable *cancellable,GError **error);
Remove all OSTree refs from the local flatpak repository which are not
in a deployed state. The next time the underlying OSTree repo is pruned,
objects which were attached to that ref will be removed. This is useful if
you pulled a flatpak refs using flatpak_installation_install_full() and
specified FLATPAK_INSTALL_FLAGS_NO_DEPLOY but then decided not to
deploy the refs later on and want to remove the local refs to prevent them
from taking up disk space. Note that this will not remove the objects
referred to by ref
from the underlying OSTree repo, you should use
flatpak_installation_prune_local_repo() to do that.
Since: 0.10.0
flatpak_installation_get_config ()

flatpak_installation_remove_local_ref_sync ()
gboolean flatpak_installation_remove_local_ref_sync (FlatpakInstallation *self,const char *remote_name,const char *ref,GCancellable *cancellable,GError **error);
Remove the OSTree ref given by remote_name
:ref
from the local flatpak
repository. The next time the underlying OSTree repo is pruned, objects
which were attached to that ref will be removed. This is useful if you
pulled a flatpak ref using flatpak_installation_install_full() and
specified FLATPAK_INSTALL_FLAGS_NO_DEPLOY but then decided not to
deploy the ref later on and want to remove the local ref to prevent it
from taking up disk space. Note that this will not remove the objects
referred to by ref
from the underlying OSTree repo, you should use
flatpak_installation_prune_local_repo() to do that.
Parameters

Name
FlatpakTransaction — Transaction information
Functions
Description
FlatpakTransaction is an object representing an install/update/uninstall
transaction. You create an object like this using flatpak_transaction_new_for_installation()
and then you add all the operations (installs, updates, etc) you wish to do. Then
you start the transaction with flatpak_transaction_run() which will resolve all kinds
of dependencies and report progress and status while downloading and installing these.
The dependency resolution that is the first step of executing a transaction can
be influenced by flatpak_transaction_set_disable_dependencies(),
flatpak_transaction_set_disable_related(), flatpak_transaction_add_dependency_source()
and flatpak_transaction_add_default_dependency_sources().
The underlying operations that get orchestrated by a FlatpakTransaction are: pulling
new data from remote repositories, deploying newer applications or runtimes and pruning
old deployments. Which of these operations are carried out can be controlled with
flatpak_transaction_set_no_pull(), flatpak_transaction_set_no_deploy() and
flatpak_transaction_set_disable_prune().
A transaction is a blocking operation, and all signals are emitted in the same thread. This means you should either handle the signals directly (say, by doing blocking console interaction, or by just returning without interaction), or run the operation in a separate thread and do your own forwarding to the GUI thread.
Despite the name, a FlatpakTransaction is more like a batch operation than a transaction in the database sense. Individual operations are carried out sequentially, and are atomic. They become visible to the system as they are completed. When an error occurs, already completed operations are not rolled back.
For each operation that is executed during a transaction, you first get a “new-operation” signal, followed by either a “operation-done” or “operation-error”.
The FlatpakTransaction API is threadsafe in the sense that it is safe to run two transactions at the same time, in different threads (or processes).
Note: Transactions (or any other install/update operation) to a system installation rely on the ability to create files that are readable by other users. Some users set a umask that prohibits this. Unfortunately there is no good way to work around this in a threadsafe, local way, so such setups will break by default. The flatpak commandline app works around this by calling umask(022) in the early setup, and it is recommended that other apps using libflatpak do this too.
Functions
flatpak_transaction_new_for_installation ()
FlatpakTransaction * flatpak_transaction_new_for_installation (FlatpakInstallation *installation,GCancellable *cancellable,GError **error);
Creates a new FlatpakTransaction object that can be used to do installation
and updates of multiple refs, as well as their dependencies, in a single
operation. Set the options you want on the transaction and add the
refs you want to install/update, then start the transaction with
flatpak_transaction_run().
flatpak_transaction_add_install ()
gboolean flatpak_transaction_add_install (FlatpakTransaction *self,const char *remote,const char *ref,const char **subpaths,GError **error);
Adds installing the given ref to this transaction.
The remote
can either be a configured remote of the installation,
or a file:// uri pointing at a local repository to install from,
in which case an origin remote is created.
flatpak_transaction_add_install_bundle ()
gboolean flatpak_transaction_add_install_bundle (FlatpakTransaction *self,GFile *file,GBytes *gpg_data,GError **error);
Adds installing the given bundle to this transaction.
flatpak_transaction_add_install_flatpakref ()
gboolean flatpak_transaction_add_install_flatpakref (FlatpakTransaction *self,GBytes *flatpakref_data,GError **error);

Adds updating the given ref to this transaction.
flatpak_transaction_add_uninstall ()
gboolean flatpak_transaction_add_uninstall (FlatpakTransaction *self,const char *ref,GError **error);
Adds uninstalling the given ref to this transaction.
flatpak_transaction_add_default_dependency_sources ()
void
flatpak_transaction_add_default_dependency_sources
(FlatpakTransaction *self);Similar to flatpak_transaction_add_dependency_source(), but adds
all the default installations, which means all the defined system-wide
(but not per-user) installations.
flatpak_transaction_add_dependency_source ()
void flatpak_transaction_add_dependency_source (FlatpakTransaction *self,FlatpakInstallation *installation);
Adds an extra installation as a source for application dependencies. This means that applications can be installed in this transaction relying on runtimes from this additional installation (whereas it would normally install required runtimes that are not installed in the installation the transaction works on).
Also see flatpak_transaction_add_default_dependency_sources().
flatpak_transaction_run ()
gboolean flatpak_transaction_run (FlatpakTransaction *transaction,GCancellable *cancellable,GError **error);
Executes the transaction.
During the course of the execution, various signals will get emitted. The FlatpakTransaction::choose-remote-for-ref and “add-new-remote” signals may get emitted while resolving operations. “ready” is emitted when the transaction has been fully resolved, and “new-operation” and “operation-done” are emitted while the operations are carried out. If an error occurs at any point during the execution, “operation-error” is emitted.
Note that this call blocks until the transaction is done.
flatpak_transaction_get_current_operation ()
FlatpakTransactionOperation *
flatpak_transaction_get_current_operation
(FlatpakTransaction *self);Gets the current operation.
flatpak_transaction_get_installation ()

The ::end-of-lifed-with-rebase signal gets emitted when a ref is found to be marked as end-of-life before the transaction begins. Unlike “end-of-lifed”, this signal allows for the transaction to be modified in order to e.g. install the rebased ref.
Parameters
object | ||
remote | The remote for the ref we are processing | |
ref | The ref we are processing | |
reason | The eol reason, or | |
rebased_to_ref | The new name, if rebased, or | |
previous_ids | The previous names for the rebased ref (if any), including the one from | |
user_data | user data set when the signal handler was connected. |
Returns
TRUE if the operation on this end-of-lifed ref should
be skipped, FALSE if it should remain.
Flags: Run Last
The “new-operation” signal
void user_function (FlatpakTransaction *object, FlatpakTransactionOperation *operation, FlatpakTransactionProgress *progress, gpointer user_data)
The ::new-operation signal gets emitted during the execution of the transaction when a new operation is beginning.
Parameters
object | ||
operation | The new FlatpakTransactionOperation | |
progress | A FlatpakTransactionProgress for | |
user_data | user data set when the signal handler was connected. |
Flags: Run Last
The “operation-done” signal
void user_function (FlatpakTransaction *object, FlatpakTransactionOperation *operation, gchar *commit, gint result, gpointer user_data)
The ::operation-done signal gets emitted during the execution of the transaction when an operation is finished.
Parameters
object | ||
operation | The FlatpakTransactionOperation which finished | |
commit | The commit | |
result | A FlatpakTransactionResult giving details about the result. | [type FlatpakTransactionResult] |
user_data | user data set when the signal handler was connected. |
Flags: Run Last
The “operation-error” signal
gboolean user_function (FlatpakTransaction *object, FlatpakTransactionOperation *operation, GError *error, gint details, gpointer user_data)
The ::operation-error signal gets emitted when an error occurs during the execution of the transaction.
Parameters
object | ||
operation | The FlatpakTransactionOperation which failed | |
error | A GError | |
details | A FlatpakTransactionErrorDetails with details about the error. | [type FlatpakTransactionErrorDetails] |
user_data | user data set when the signal handler was connected. |
Flags: Run Last
The “ready” signal
gboolean user_function (FlatpakTransaction *object, gpointer user_data)
The ::ready signal is emitted when all the refs involved in the operation
have been resolved to commits. At this point flatpak_transaction_get_operations()
will return all the operations that will be executed as part of the
transaction.
Flags: Run Last
The “webflow-done” signal
void user_function (FlatpakTransaction *object, gint id, gpointer user_data)
The ::webflow-done signal gets emitted when the authentication finished the webflow, independent of the reason and results. If you for were showing a web-browser window it can now be closed.
Parameters
object | ||
id | The id of the operation | |
user_data | user data set when the signal handler was connected. |
Flags: Run Last
The “webflow-start” signal
gboolean user_function (FlatpakTransaction *object, gchar *remote, gchar *url, gint id, gpointer user_data)
The ::webflow-start signal gets emitted when some kind of user authentication is needed during the operation. If the caller handles this it should show the url in a webbrowser and return TRUE. This will eventually cause the webbrowser to finish the authentication operation and operation will continue, as signaled by the webflow-done being emitted.
If the client does not support webflow then return FALSE from this signal (or don't implement it). This will abort the authentication and likely result in the transaction failing (unless the authentication was somehow optional).
During the time between webflow-start and webflow-done the client can call flatpak_transaction_abort_webflow()
to manually abort the authentication. This is useful if the user aborted the authentication
operation some way, like e.g. closing the browser window.
Parameters
object | ||
remote | The remote we're authenticating with | |
url | The url to show | |
id | The id of the operation, can be used to cancel it | |
user_data | user data set when the signal handler was connected. |
Flags: Run Last

Object Hierarchy
GObject ╰── FlatpakRef ├── FlatpakBundleRef ├── FlatpakInstalledRef ├── FlatpakRelatedRef ╰── FlatpakRemoteRef
Description
Currently Flatpak manages two types of binary artifacts: applications, and runtimes. Applications contain a program that desktop users can run, while runtimes contain only libraries and data. An FlatpakRef object (or short: ref) can refer to either of these.
Both applications and runtimes are identified by a 4-tuple of strings: kind,
name, arch and branch, e.g. app/org.gnome.evince/x86_64/master. The functions
flatpak_ref_parse() and flatpak_ref_format_ref() can be used to convert
FlatpakRef objects into this string representation and back.
FlatpakRef objects are immutable and can be passed freely between threads.
To uniquely identify a particular version of an application or runtime, you need a commit.
The subclasses FlatpakInstalledRef and FlatpakRemoteRef provide more information for artifacts that are locally installed or available from a remote repository.
Functions
flatpak_ref_format_ref ()
char *
flatpak_ref_format_ref (FlatpakRef *self);Convert an FlatpakRef object into a string representation that
can be parsed by flatpak_ref_parse().
flatpak_ref_get_arch ()

flatpak_ref_get_arch (FlatpakRef *self);Gets the arch or the ref.
flatpak_ref_get_branch ()
const char *
flatpak_ref_get_branch (FlatpakRef *self);Gets the branch of the ref.
flatpak_ref_get_collection_id ()
const char *
flatpak_ref_get_collection_id (FlatpakRef *self);Gets the collection ID of the ref.
flatpak_ref_get_commit ()
const char *
flatpak_ref_get_commit (FlatpakRef *self);Gets the commit of the ref.
flatpak_ref_get_kind ()
FlatpakRefKind
flatpak_ref_get_kind (FlatpakRef *self);Gets the kind of artifact that this ref refers to.
flatpak_ref_get_name ()
const char *
flatpak_ref_get_name (FlatpakRef *self);Gets the name of the ref.
flatpak_ref_parse ()
FlatpakRef * flatpak_ref_parse (const char *ref,GError **error);
Tries to parse a full ref name and return a FlatpakRef (without a commit set) or fail if the ref is invalid somehow.
Parameters
ref | A string ref name, such as "app/org.test.App/x86_64/master" | |
error | return location for a GError |

Description
A FlatpakInstance refers to a running sandbox, and contains some basic information about the sandbox setup, such as the application and runtime used inside the sandbox.
Importantly, it also gives access to the PID of the main processes in the sandbox.
One way to obtain FlatpakInstances is to use flatpak_instance_get_all().
Another way is to use flatpak_installation_launch_full().
Note that process lifecycle tracking is fundamentally racy. You have to be prepared for the sandbox and the processes represented by a FlatpakInstance to not be around anymore.
The FlatpakInstance api was added in Flatpak 1.1.
Functions
flatpak_instance_get_all ()
GPtrArray *
flatpak_instance_get_all (void);Gets FlatpakInstance objects for all running sandboxes in the current session.

Since: 1.1
flatpak_instance_get_app ()
const char *
flatpak_instance_get_app (FlatpakInstance *self);Gets the application ID of the application running in the instance.
Note that this may return NULL for sandboxes that don't have an application.
Since: 1.1

const char *
flatpak_instance_get_runtime_commit (FlatpakInstance *self);Gets the commit of the runtime used in the instance.
Since: 1.1
flatpak_instance_get_pid ()
int
flatpak_instance_get_pid (FlatpakInstance *self);Gets the PID of the outermost process in the sandbox. This is not the application process itself, but a bubblewrap 'babysitter' process.
See flatpak_instance_get_child_pid().
Since: 1.1
flatpak_instance_get_child_pid ()
int
flatpak_instance_get_child_pid (FlatpakInstance *self);Gets the PID of the application process in the sandbox.
See flatpak_instance_get_pid().
Note that this function may return 0 immediately after launching a sandbox, for a short amount of time.
Since: 1.1
flatpak_instance_get_info ()
GKeyFile *
flatpak_instance_get_info (FlatpakInstance *self);Gets a keyfile that holds information about the running sandbox.
This file is available as /.flatpak-info inside the sandbox as well.
The most important data in the keyfile is available with separate getters, but there may be more information in the keyfile.
Since: 1.1
flatpak_instance_is_running ()
gboolean
flatpak_instance_is_running (FlatpakInstance *self);Finds out if the sandbox represented by self
is still running.
