Libportal provides GIO-style C APIs for most Flatpak portals' D-Bus interfaces. It is primarily intended for installation in Flatpak runtimes, where applications can use it to interact with portals; it can also be used to test the portal services.

See the xdg-desktop-portal package's description for more information about portals.

This package can be used by other packages using the GIRepository format to generate dynamic bindings for GTK 3 integration.
