NAME
       checkpolicy - SELinux policy compiler

SYNOPSIS
       checkpolicy [-b] [-d] [-c policyvers] [-o output_file] [input_file]

DESCRIPTION
       This manual page describes the checkpolicy command.

       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.


OPTIONS
       -b     Read  an	existing binary policy file rather than a source pol-
	      icy.conf file.

       -d     Enter debug mode after loading the policy.

       -o filename
	      Write a binary policy file to the specified filename.

       -c policyvers
	      Specify the policy version, defaults to the latest.
