Profile files are defined as a means to "pass several command line arguments to firejail" but apparently for example mkdir and mkfile options are available in context of profile files, but can't be specified directly from command line.
Add support for -mkdir and --mkfile options so that executing:
firejail --mkdir=${HOME}/directory/path
--whitelist=${HOME}/directory/path
behaves similarly as having profile file content:
mkdir ${HOME}/directory/path
whitelist ${HOME}/directory/path
This patches was part of Sailfish's firejail packaging. It was developed as part of implementing firejail sandboxing in Sailfish OS and just like the previous patches written by my colleague and previously reviewed by me or one of my other colleagues. See also #3960 for discussion.
