NAME
checkpolicy - SELinux policy compiler
SYNOPSIS
checkpolicy [-b[F]] [-C] [-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.

-b,--binary
Read an existing binary policy file rather than a source policy.conf file.
-C,--cil
Write CIL policy file rather than binary policy file.
-d,--debug
Enter debug mode after loading the policy.
-F,--conf
Write policy.conf file rather than binary policy file. Can only be used with binary
policy file.
-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).
