Yuli Khodorkovskiy 28efbfd4ed policycoreutils: add semodule option to set store root path
Add a new -S option to semodule. This option overrides store_root
in semanage.conf and sets the SELinux store's root path. If neither -S,
nor store_root are specified in semanage.conf, then the default
location is used.

.SH NAME
semodule \- Manage SELinux policy modules.
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B semodule [options]... MODE [MODES]...
.br
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
semodule is the tool used to manage SELinux policy modules,
including installing, upgrading, listing and removing modules.
semodule may also be used to force a rebuild of policy from the
module store and/or to force a reload of policy without performing
any other transaction. semodule acts on module packages created
by semodule_package. Conventionally, these files have a .pp suffix
(policy package), although this is not mandated in any way.
