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.

       -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.
