aa-exec

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.
