NAME
       sefcontext_compile - compile file context regular expression files
SYNOPSIS
       sefcontext_compile [-o outputfile] [-p policyfile] inputfile
DESCRIPTION
       sefcontext_compile  is used to compile file context regular expressions
       into pcre(3) format.
       The compiled file is used by libselinux file labeling functions.
       By default sefcontext_compile writes the compiled pcre  file  with  the
       .bin suffix appended (e.g. inputfile.bin).
OPTIONS
       -o     Specify  an  outputfile that must be a fully qualified file name
              as the .bin suffix is not automatically added.
       -p     Specify a binary policyfile that will be used  to  validate  the
              context entries in the inputfile
              If  an invalid context is found the pcre formatted file will not
              be written and an error will be returned.
RETURN VALUE
       On error -1 is returned.  On success 0 is returned.
EXAMPLES
       Example 1:
       sefcontext_compile /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts

              /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts.bin
       Example 2:
       sefcontext_compile     -o     new_fc.bin     /etc/selinux/targeted/con-
       texts/files/file_contexts
