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.
