DESCRIPTION

       Use sepolicy generate to generate an SELinux policy Module.

       sepolicy generate will create 5 files.

       When  specifying  a  confined  application  you  must  specify a path. sepolicy generate will use the rpm
       payload of the application along with nm -D APPLICATION to help it generate types and  policy  rules  for
       your policy files.

       NAME.te
       This file can be used to define all the types enforcement rules for a particular domain.

       Note:  Policy generated by sepolicy generate will automatically add a permissive DOMAIN to your .te file.
       When you are satisfied that your policy works, you need to remove the permissive line from the  .te  file
       to run your domain in enforcing mode.

       NAME.if
       This  file  defines  the  interfaces  for the types generated in the .te file, which can be used by other
       policy domains.

       NAME.fc
       This file defines the default file context for the system, it takes the file types  created  in  the  .te
       file  and  associates file paths to the types.  Tools like restorecon and RPM will use these paths to put
       down labels.

       NAME_selinux.spec
       This file is an RPM SPEC file that can be used to install the SELinux policy on to machines and setup the
       labeling. The spec file also installs the interface file and a man page describing the  policy.  You  can
       use sepolicy manpage -d NAME to generate the man page.

       NAME.sh
       This  is a helper shell script to compile, install and fix the labeling on your test system. It will also
       generate a man page based on the installed policy, and compile and build an RPM suitable to be  installed
       on other machines.
