NAME

   checkpolicy - SELinux policy compiler

SYNOPSIS

   checkpolicy  [-b]  [-C]  [-d]  [-M]  [-c  policyvers]  [-o output_file]
   [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
          policy.conf file.

   -C,--cil
          Write CIL policy file rather than binary policy file.

   -d,--debug
          Enter debug mode after loading the policy.

   -M,--mls
          Enable the MLS policy when checking and compiling the policy.

   -o,--output filename
          Write a binary policy file to the specified filename.

   -c policyvers
          Specify the policy version, defaults to the latest.

   -t,--target
          Specify the target platform (selinux or xen).

   -U,--handle-unknown <action>
          Specify   how  the  kernel  should  handle  unknown  classes  or
          permissions (deny, allow or reject).
