The \c freedesktop module contains properties and rules for building and working with applications compliant to freedesktop.org specifications on UNIX platforms. The areas in which this module can be of use include: \list \li Creation or post-processing of \l{https://specifications.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/}{\c{.desktop} files} \li Installation of \l{https://www.freedesktop.org/software/appstream/docs/chap-Metadata.html}{AppStream} metadata \li Defining the location for \l{https://specifications.freedesktop.org/icon-theme-spec/icon-theme-spec-latest.html#directory_layout} {application icons} \endlist This module is available on all platforms but is currently only useful on UNIX platforms. \section2 Example usage \target example-freedesktop \code Application { ...
