CHECKPOLICY(8)              System Manager's Manual             CHECKPOLICY(8)
NAME
       checkpolicy - SELinux policy compiler
SYNOPSIS
       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]
DESCRIPTION
       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.
OPTIONS
       -b,--binary
              Read  an  existing  binary policy file rather than a source pol-
              icy.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 permis-
              sions (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 binary policy file to the specified filename.
       -S,--sort
              Sort ocontexts before writing out the binary policy. This option
              makes output of checkpolicy consistent with binary policies cre-
              ated by semanage and secilc.
       -t,--target
              Specify the target platform (selinux or xen).
       -V,--version
              Show version information.
       -h,--help
              Show usage information.
