NAME

6       sefcontext_compile - compile file context regular expression files
7

SYNOPSIS

9       sefcontext_compile [-o outputfile] [-p policyfile] inputfile
10

DESCRIPTION

12       sefcontext_compile  is used to compile file context regular expressions
13       into pcre(3) format.
14
15       The compiled file is used by libselinux file labeling functions.
16
17       By default sefcontext_compile writes the compiled pcre  file  with  the
18       .bin suffix appended (e.g. inputfile.bin).
19

OPTIONS

21       -o     Specify  an  outputfile that must be a fully qualified file name
22              as the .bin suffix is not automatically added.
23
24       -p     Specify a binary policyfile that will be used  to  validate  the
25              context entries in the inputfile
26              If  an invalid context is found the pcre formatted file will not
27              be written and an error will be returned.
