Add the command-line option 'O' to checkpolicy to cause kernel policies to be optimized by calling policydb_optimize() before being written out. This option can be used on conf files and binary kernel policies, but not when converting a conf file to CIL. Signed-off-by: James Carter <jwcart2@tycho.nsa.gov> [omosnace: make commit desc more consistent with the other patches] [omosnace: fix a typo in the commit message] [omosnace: directly use policydb_optimize() as also the rest of code already uses other policydb_*() functions...] [omosnace: update man page] Signed-off-by: Ondrej Mosnacek <omosnace@redhat.com>

|

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
|
|
This manual page describes the
|
|
.BR checkpolicy
|
|
command.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.B checkpolicy
|
|
is a program that checks and compiles a SELinux security policy configuration
|
|
into a binary representation that can be loaded into the kernel. If no
|
|
input file name is specified, checkpolicy will attempt to read from
|
|
policy.conf or policy, depending on whether the \-b flag is specified.
|
|
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-b,\-\-binary
|
|
Read an existing binary policy file rather than a source policy.conf file.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-F,\-\-conf
|
|
Write policy.conf file rather than binary policy file. Can only be used with binary policy file.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-C,\-\-cil
|
|
Write CIL policy file rather than binary policy file.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-d,\-\-debug
|
|
Enter debug mode after loading the policy.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-U,\-\-handle-unknown <action>
|
|
Specify how the kernel should handle unknown classes or permissions (deny, allow or reject).
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-M,\-\-mls
|
|
Enable the MLS policy when checking and compiling the policy.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-c policyvers
|
|
Specify the policy version, defaults to the latest.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-o,\-\-output filename
|
|
Write a binary policy file to the specified filename.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-S,\-\-sort
|
|
Sort ocontexts before writing out the binary policy. This option makes output of checkpolicy consistent with binary policies created by semanage and secilc.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-t,\-\-target
|
|
Specify the target platform (selinux or xen).
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-O,\-\-optimize
|
|
Optimize the final kernel policy (remove redundant rules).
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-V,\-\-version
|
|
Show version information.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-h,\-\-help
|
|
Show usage information.
