NAME

       customizable_types - The SELinux customizable types configuration file

DESCRIPTION

       The customizable_types file contains a list of types that can be customised in some way by
       SELinux-aware applications.

       Generally this is a file context type that is usually set on files that need to be  shared
       among certain domains and where the administrator wants to manually manage the type.

       The   use   of  customizable  types  is  deprecated  as  the  preferred approach is to use
       semanage(8) fcontext(8) ...(8).  However, SELinux-aware applications such  as  setfiles(8)
       will  use  this information to obtain a list of types relating to files that should not be
       relabeled.

       selinux_customizable_types_path(3) will return the active policy path to  this  file.  The
       default customizable types file is:
              /etc/selinux/{SELINUXTYPE}/contexts/customizable_types

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

       is_context_customizable(3) reads this file to determine if a context  is  customisable  or
       not for the active policy.

FILE FORMAT

       Each line in the file consists of the following:
              type

       Where:
              type
                     The type defined in the policy that can be customised.

EXAMPLE

       # ./contexts/customizable_types
       mount_loopback_t
       public_content_rw_t
       public_content_t
       swapfile_t
       sysadm_untrusted_content_t
