About

Devhelp is a developer tool for browsing and searching API documentation. It provides an easy way to navigate through libraries and to search by function, struct, or macro. The documentation must be installed locally, so an internet connection is not needed to use Devhelp. Devhelp works natively with GTK-Doc, so the GTK and GNOME libraries are well supported. But other development platforms can be supported as well, as long as the API documentation is available in HTML and a *.devhelp2 index file is generated. Devhelp integrates with other applications such as Glade, Builder or Anjuta, and plugins are available for different text editors (gedit, Vim, Emacs, Geany, …).

Permissions

2 permissions weaken the sandbox. Flatsonar asks before installing.

  • X11 display: X11 lets apps read input and windows of other apps
    --socket=x11
  • read-only access to your entire file system
    --filesystem=host:ro
  • inter-process communication (needed for X11)
    --share=ipc
  • Wayland display
    --socket=wayland
  • GPU acceleration
    --device=dri

Who publishes this

Nobody has confirmed that the publisher controls this app id. Flatsonar warns before installing.

  • packaged by github.com/deepin-community, not by the org.gnome namespace owner; it does build the owner's code from https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/devhelp.git
    publisher:namespace
  • git source tracks a moving branch: what gets built can change without the manifest changing
    source:unpinned
