aa-autodep

AUTODEP(8)							     AppArmor								AUTODEP(8)

NAME

       aa-autodep - guess basic AppArmor profile requirements

SYNOPSIS

       aa-autodep <executable> [<executable> ...]

DESCRIPTION

       aa-autodep is used to generate a minimal AppArmor profile for a set of executables. This program will generate a profile for binary
       executable as well as interpreted script programs. At a minimum aa-autodep will provide a base profile containing a base include directive
       which includes basic profile entries needed by most programs.  The profile is generated by recursively calling ldd(1) on the executables
       listed on the command line.

BUGS

       This program does not perform full static analysis of executables, so the profiles generated are necessarily incomplete. If you find any
       bugs, please report them to bugzilla at <http://bugzilla.novell.com>.
