checkpolicy − SELinux policy compiler
checkpolicy [-b] [-d] [-M] [-U handle_unknown ] [-V] [-c policyvers] [-o output_file] [input_file]
This manual page describes the checkpolicy command.
checkpolicy is a program that checks and compiles a SELinux security policy configuration into a binary representation that can be loaded into the kernel. If no input file name is specified, checkpolicy will attempt to read from policy.conf or policy, depending on whether the -b flag is specified.
−b |
Read an existing binary policy file rather than a source policy.conf file. | ||
−d |
Enter debug mode after loading the policy. | ||
−M |
Enable the MLS policy when checking and compiling the policy. |
−o filename
Write a binary policy file to the specified filename.
−c policyvers
Specify the policy version, defaults to the latest.
−U OPTION
Tells the kernel how to handle unknown classes and permissions, where OPTION is one of the following:
deny Deny unknown kernel checks
reject Reject loading of policy with unknowns
allow Allow unknown kernel checks
−V |
Show policy versions created by this program |
