NAME
       sefcontext_compile - compile file context regular expression files


SYNOPSIS
       sefcontext_compile [-o outputfile] [-p policyfile] inputfile


DESCRIPTION
       sefcontext_compile is used to compile file context regular expressions into pcre(3) format.

       The compiled file is used by libselinux file labeling functions.

       By  default  sefcontext_compile  writes  the  compiled  pcre  file  with  the  .bin suffix appended (e.g.
       inputfile.bin).


OPTIONS
       -o     Specify an outputfile that must be a  fully  qualified  file  name  as  the  .bin  suffix  is  not
              automatically added.

       -p     Specify a binary policyfile that will be used to validate the context entries in the inputfile
              If  an  invalid  context is found the pcre formatted file will not be written and an error will be
              returned.


RETURN VALUE
       On error -1 is returned.  On success 0 is returned.


EXAMPLES
       Example 1:
       sefcontext_compile /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts

       Results in the following file being generated:
              /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts.bin

       Example 2:
       sefcontext_compile -o new_fc.bin /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts

       Results in the following file being generated in the cwd:
              new_fc.bin
