aa-exec(8) [debian man page]

AA-EXEC(8)							     AppArmor								AA-EXEC(8)

NAME

       aa-exec - confine a program with the specified AppArmor profile

SYNOPSIS

       aa-exec [options] [--] [<command> ...]

DESCRIPTION

       aa-exec is used to launch a program confined by the specified profile and or namespace.	If both a profile and namespace are specified
       command will be confined by profile in the new policy namespace.  If only a namespace is specified, the profile name of the current
       confinement will be used.  If neither a profile or namespace is specified command will be run using standard profile attachment (ie. as if
       run without the aa-exec command).

       If the arguments are to be pasted to the <command> being invoked by aa-exec then -- should be used to separate aa-exec arguments from the
       command.
	 aa-exec -p profile1 -- ls -l

OPTIONS aa-exec accepts the following arguments:
       -p PROFILE, --profile=PROFILE
	   confine <command> with PROFILE. If the PROFILE is not specified use the current profile name (likely unconfined).

       -n NAMESPACE, --namespace=NAMESPACE
	   use profiles in NAMESPACE.  This will result in confinement transitioning to using the new profile namespace.

       -f FILE, --file=FILE
	   a file or directory containing profiles to load before confining the program.

       -i, --immediate
	   transition to PROFILE before doing executing <command>.  This subjects the running of <command> to the exec transition rules of the
	   current profile.

       -v, --verbose
	   show commands being performed

       -d, --debug
	   show commands and error codes

       --  Signal the end of options and disables further option processing. Any arguments after the -- are treated as arguments of the command.
	   This is useful when passing arguments to the <command> being invoked by aa-exec.

NAME

       aa-genprof - profile generation utility for AppArmor

SYNOPSIS

       aa-genprof <executable> [-d /path/to/profiles]

OPTIONS

       -d --dir /path/to/profiles

	  Specifies where to look for the AppArmor security profile set.
	  Defaults to /etc/apparmor.d.

DESCRIPTION

       When running aa-genprof, you must specify a program to profile.	If the specified program is not a fully-qualified path, aa-genprof will
       search $PATH in order to find the program.

       If a profile does not exist for the program, aa-genprof will create one using aa-autodep(1).

       Genprof will then:

	  - set the profile to complain mode

	  - write a mark to the system log

	  - instruct the user to start the application to
	    be profiled in another window and exercise its functionality

       It then presents the user with two options, (S)can system log for entries to add to profile and (F)inish.

       If the user selects (S)can or hits return, aa-genprof will parse the complain mode logs and iterate through generated violations using
       aa-logprof(1).

       After the user finishes selecting profile entries based on violations that were detected during the program execution, aa-genprof will
       reload the updated profiles in complain mode and again prompt the user for (S)can and (D)one. This cycle can then be repeated as necessary
       until all application functionality has been exercised without generating access violations.

       When the user eventually hits (F)inish, aa-genprof will set the main profile, and any other profiles that were generated, into enforce mode
       and exit.
