+This directory contains a number of tools related to policy, some of
+which are used in building and validating the policy and others are
+available for help in auditing and analyzing policy.  The tools are
+described further below.
+
+checkfc
+   A utility for checking the validity of a file_contexts or a
+   property_contexts configuration file.  Used as part of the policy
+   build to validate both files.  Requires the sepolicy file as an
+   argument in order to check the validity of the security contexts
+   in the file_contexts or property_contexts file.
+
+   Usage:
+   checkfc sepolicy file_contexts
+   checkfc -p sepolicy property_contexts
+
+checkseapp
+    A utility for merging together the main seapp_contexts
+    configuration and the device-specific one, and simultaneously
+    checking the validity of the configurations. Used as part of the
+    policy build process to merge and validate the configuration.
+
+    Usage:
+    checkseapp -p sepolicy input_seapp_contexts0 [input_seapp_contexts1...] -o seapp_contexts
+
+insertkeys.py
+    A helper script for mapping tags in the signature stanzas of
+    mac_permissions.xml to public keys found in pem files.  This
+    script is described further in the top-level sepolicy/README.
+
+sepolicy-check
+    A tool for auditing a sepolicy file for any allow rule that grants
+    a given permission.
+
+    Usage:
+    sepolicy-check -s <domain> -t <type> -c <class> -p <permission> -P out/target/product/<board>/root/sepolicy
+
+sepolicy-analyze
+    A tool for performing various kinds of analysis on a sepolicy
+    file.  The current kinds of analysis that are currently supported
+    include:
+
+    TYPE EQUIVALENCE
+    sepolicy-analyze -e -P out/target/product/<board>/root/sepolicy
+
+    Display all type pairs that are "equivalent", i.e. they are
+    identical with respect to allow rules, including indirect allow
+    rules via attributes and default-enabled conditional rules
+    (i.e. default boolean values yield a true conditional expression).
+
+    Equivalent types are candidates for being coalesced into a single
+    type.  However, there may be legitimate reasons for them to remain
+    separate, for example: - the types may differ in a respect not
+    included in the current analysis, such as default-disabled
+    conditional rules, audit-related rules (auditallow or dontaudit),
+    default type transitions, or constraints (e.g. mls), or - the
+    current policy may be overly permissive with respect to one or the
+    other of the types and thus the correct action may be to tighten
+    access to one or the other rather than coalescing them together,
+    or - the domains that would in fact have different accesses to the
+    types may not yet be defined or may be unconfined in the policy
+    you are analyzing.
+
+    TYPE DIFFERENCE
+    sepolicy-analyze -d -P out/target/product/<board>/root/sepolicy
+
+    Display type pairs that differ and the first difference found
+    between the two types.  This may be used in looking for similar
+    types that are not equivalent but may be candidates for coalescing.
+
+    DUPLICATE ALLOW RULES
+    sepolicy-analyze -D -P out/target/product/<board>/root/sepolicy
+
+    Displays duplicate allow rules, i.e. pairs of allow rules that
+    grant the same permissions where one allow rule is written
+    directly in terms of individual types and the other is written in
+    terms of attributes associated with those same types.  The rule
+    with individual types is a candidate for removal.  The rule with
+    individual types may be directly represented in the source policy
+    or may be a result of expansion of a type negation (e.g. domain
+    -foo -bar is expanded to individual allow rules by the policy
+    compiler).  Domains with unconfineddomain will typically have such
+    duplicate rules as a natural side effect and can be ignored.
