The command "flatpak info ${name}" is used to retrieve information about a specific Flatpak application. Let's break it down:

  • "flatpak" is a package management system and technology for building, distributing, and running sandboxed desktop applications on Linux.

  • "info" is a subcommand that allows you to access information about an installed Flatpak application.

  • "${name}" is a placeholder indicating that the user should replace it with the actual name of the desired Flatpak application. For example, if you want to get information about the application "org.gnome.Builder", you would replace "${name}" with "org.gnome.Builder".

Overall, when executing the "flatpak info ${name}" command, it will display various details about the specified Flatpak application, such as its name, ID, version, branch, runtime, extensions, and more.
