- ``--socket=ssh-auth``- Allow access to ``$SSH_AUTH_SOCK``. This is not
commonly needed unless the application interacts with SSH such as
Git clients or SSH frontends.
- ``--socket=inherit-wayland-socket`` - Inherit the ``$WAYLAND_SOCKET``
environment variable from the parent process (for example, the compositor).
This is not commonly needed unless the application needs access to
the parent process’ Wayland state. Input method applications may need
this. It’s a very sensitive permission as it prevents Wayland client
state from being sandboxed.
