checkpolicy - SELinux policy compiler
checkpolicy [-b[F]] [-C] [-d] [-U handle_unknown (allow,deny,reject)]
[-M] [-c policyvers] [-o output_file|-] [-S] [-t target_platform
(selinux,xen)] [-V] [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,--binary
Read an existing binary policy file rather than a source
policy.conf file.
-F,--conf
Write policy.conf file rather than binary policy file. Can
only be used with binary policy file.
-C,--cil
Write CIL policy file rather than binary policy file.
-d,--debug
Enter debug mode after loading the policy.
-U,--handle-unknown <action>
Specify how the kernel should handle unknown classes or
permissions (deny, allow or reject).
-M,--mls
Enable the MLS policy when checking and compiling the policy.
-c policyvers
Specify the policy version, defaults to the latest.
-o,--output filename
Write a policy file (binary, policy.conf, or CIL policy) to
the specified filename. If - is given as filename, write it to
standard output.
-S,--sort
Sort ocontexts before writing out the binary policy. This
option makes output of checkpolicy consistent with binary
policies created by semanage and secilc.
-t,--target
Specify the target platform (selinux or xen).
-O,--optimize
Optimize the final kernel policy (remove redundant rules).
-E,--werror
Treat warnings as errors
-V,--version
Show version information.
-h,--help
Show usage information.
