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.
