NAME
sefcontext_compile - compile file context regular expression files
SYNOPSIS
sefcontext_compile
[
-o
outputfile]
[
-p
policyfile]
inputfile
DESCRIPTION
sefcontext_compile
is used to compile file context regular expressions into
pcre(3)
format.
The compiled file is used by libselinux file labeling functions.
By default
sefcontext_compile
writes the compiled pcre file with the
.bin
suffix appended (e.g. inputfile.bin).
OPTIONS
- -o
-
Specify an
outputfile
that must be a fully qualified file name as the
.bin
suffix is not automatically added.
- -p
-
Specify a binary
policyfile
that will be used to validate the context entries in the
inputfile
If an invalid context is found the pcre formatted file will not be written and
an error will be returned.
RETURN VALUE
On error -1 is returned. On success 0 is returned.
EXAMPLES
Example 1:
sefcontext_compile /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts
Results in the following file being generated:
-
/etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts.bin
Example 2:
sefcontext_compile -o new_fc.bin /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts
Results in the following file being generated in the cwd:
-
new_fc.bin
