CHECKMODULE(8) System Manager's Manual CHECKMODULE(8)
checkmodule - SELinux policy module compiler
checkmodule [-h] [-b] [-C] [-m] [-M] [-U handle_unknown ] [-V] [-o
output_file] [input_file]
This manual page describes the checkmodule command.
checkmodule is a program that checks and compiles a SELinux security
policy module into a binary representation. It can generate either a
base policy module (default) or a non-base policy module (-m option);
typically, you would build a non-base policy module to add to an
existing module store that already has a base module provided by the
base policy. Use semodule_package to combine this module with its
optional file contexts to create a policy package, and then use
semodule to install the module package into the module store and load
the resulting policy.
-b,--binary
Read an existing binary policy module file rather than a
source policy module file. This option is a
development/debugging aid.
-C,--cil
Write CIL policy file rather than binary policy file.
-h,--help
Print usage.
-m Generate a non-base policy module.
-M,--mls
Enable the MLS/MCS support when checking and compiling the
policy module.
-V,--version
Show policy versions created by this program. Note that you
cannot currently build older versions.
-o,--output filename
Write a binary policy module file to the specified filename.
Otherwise, checkmodule will only check the syntax of the
module source file and will not generate a binary module at
all.
-U,--handle-unknown <action>
Specify how the kernel should handle unknown classes or
permissions (deny, allow or reject).
# Build a MLS/MCS-enabled non-base policy module.
