FLATPAK CONFIG(1)             flatpak config            FLATPAK CONFIG(1)

NAME         top

       flatpak-config - Manage configuration

SYNOPSIS         top

       flatpak config [OPTION...]

       flatpak config [OPTION...] --set KEY VALUE

       flatpak config [OPTION...] --unset|--get KEY

DESCRIPTION         top

       The flatpak config command shows or modifies the configuration of
       a flatpak installation. The following keys are supported:

       languages
           The languages that are included when installing Locale
           extensions. The value is a semicolon-separated list of
           two-letter language codes, or one of the special values * or
           *all*. If this key is unset, flatpak defaults to including the
           extra-languages key and the current locale.

       extra-languages
           This key is used when languages is not set, and it defines
           extra locale extensions on top of the system configured
           languages. The value is a semicolon-separated list of locale
           identifiers (language, optional locale, optional codeset,
           optional modifier) as documented by setlocale(3) (for example,
           en;en_DK;zh_HK.big5hkscs;uz_UZ.utf8@cyrillic).

       For configuration of individual remotes, see
       flatpak-remote-modify(1). For configuration of individual
       applications, see flatpak-override(1).
