NAME

       checkpolicy - SELinux policy compiler

SYNOPSIS

       checkpolicy [-b] [-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.

       -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).

       -V,--version
	      Show version information.

       -h,--help
	      Show usage information.
