SEMODULE_PACKAGE(8) NSA SEMODULE_PACKAGE(8)NAME
semodule_package - Create a SELinux policy module package.
SYNOPSIS
semodule_package -o <output file> -m <module> [-f <file contexts>]
DESCRIPTION
semodule_package is the tool used to create a SELinux policy module package from a binary policy module and optionally other data such as
file contexts. semodule_package packages binary policy modules created by checkmodule. The policy package created by semodule_package can
then be installed via semodule.
EXAMPLE
# Build a policy package for a base module.
$ semodule_package -o base.pp -m base.mod -f file_contexts
# Build a policy package for a httpd module.
$ semodule_package -o httpd.pp -m httpd.mod -f httpd.fc
# Build a policy package for local TE rules and no file contexts.
$ semodule_package -o local.pp -m local.mod
OPTIONS -o --outfile <output file>
Policy module package file generated by this tool.
-s --seuser <seuser file>
seuser file to be included in the package.
-u --user_extra <user extra file>
user_extra file to be included in the package.
-m --module <Module file>
Policy module file to be included in the package.
-f --fc <File context file>
File contexts file for the module (optional).
-n --nc <netfilter context file>
netfilter context file to be included in the package.

semodule - Manage SELinux policy modules.
SYNOPSIS
semodule [options]... MODE [MODES]...
DESCRIPTION
semodule is the tool used to manage SELinux policy modules, including installing, upgrading, listing and removing modules. semodule may
also be used to force a rebuild of policy from the module store and/or to force a reload of policy without performing any other transac-
tion. semodule acts on module packages created by semodule_package. Conventionally, these files have a .pp suffix (policy package),
although this is not mandated in any way.
OPTIONS -R, --reload
force a reload of policy
-B, --build
force a rebuild of policy (also reloads unless -n is used)
-D, --disable_dontaudit
Temporarily remove dontaudits from policy. Reverts whenever policy is rebuilt
-i,--install=MODULE_PKG
install/replace a module package
-u,--upgrade=MODULE_PKG
upgrade an existing module package, or install if the module does not exist
-b,--base=MODULE_PKG
install/replace base module package
-d,--disable=MODULE_NAME
disable existing module
-e,--enable=MODULE_NAME
enable existing module
-p,--path=ROOTPATH
use an alternate root path
-r,--remove=MODULE_NAME
remove existing module
-l,--list-modules
display list of installed modules (other than base)
-s,--store
name of the store to operate on
-n,--noreload,-N
do not reload policy after commit
-h,--help
prints help message and quit
-P,--preserve_tunables
Preserve tunables in policy
-v,--verbose
be verbose
EXAMPLE
# Install or replace a base policy package.
$ semodule -b base.pp
# Install or replace a non-base policy package.
$ semodule -i httpd.pp
# List non-base modules.
$ semodule -l
# Turn on all AVC Messages for which SELinux currently is "dontaudit"ing.
$ semodule -DB
# Turn "dontaudit" rules back on.
$ semodule -B
# Install or replace all non-base modules in the current directory.
$ semodule -i *.pp
# Install or replace all modules in the current directory.
$ ls *.pp | grep -Ev "base.pp|enableaudit.pp" | xargs /usr/sbin/semodule -b base.pp -i
