default_type(5) 					       SELinux configuration						   default_type(5)

NAME
       default_type - The SELinux default type configuration file

DESCRIPTION
       The  default_type file contains entries that allow SELinux-aware applications such as newrole(1) to select a default type for a role if one
       is not supplied.

       selinux_default_type_path(3) will return the active policy path to this file. The default, default type file is:
	      /etc/selinux/{SELINUXTYPE}/contexts/default_type

       Where {SELINUXTYPE} is the entry from the selinux configuration file config (see selinux_config(5)).

       get_default_type(3) reads this file to determine a type for the active policy.

FILE FORMAT
       Each line within the default_type file is formatted with role:type entries where:
	      role
		     The SELinux role.
	      type
		     The domain type that is returned for this role.

EXAMPLE
       # ./contexts/default_type
       auditadm_r:auditadm_t
       user_r:user_t
