NAME
       customizable_types - The SELinux customizable types configuration file
DESCRIPTION
       The  customizable_types  file contains a list of types that can be cus-
       tomised in some way by SELinux-aware applications.
       Generally this is a file context type that is usually set on files that
       need  to  be  shared  among certain domains and where the administrator
       wants to manually manage the type.
       The  use  of customizable types is deprecated as the preferred approach
       is  to  use  semanage(8)  fcontext(8)  ...(8).   However, SELinux-aware
       applications such as setfiles(8) will use this information to obtain  a
       list of types relating to files that should not be relabeled.
       selinux_customizable_types_path(3)  will  return the active policy path
       to this file. The default customizable types file is:
              /etc/selinux/{SELINUXTYPE}/contexts/customizable_types
       Where {SELINUXTYPE} is the entry from the  selinux  configuration  file
       config (see selinux_config(5)).
       is_context_customizable(3) reads this file to determine if a context is
       customisable or not for the active policy.
FILE FORMAT
       Each line in the file consists of the following:
              type
       Where:
              type
                     The type defined in the policy that can be customised.
EXAMPLE
       # ./contexts/customizable_types

       public_content_rw_t
       public_content_t
       swapfile_t
