SEMODULE_PACKAGE(8)                NSA               SEMODULE_PACKAGE(8)

NAME         top

       semodule_package - Create a SELinux policy module package.

SYNOPSIS         top

       semodule_package -o <output file> -m <module> [-f <file
       contexts>]

DESCRIPTION         top

       semodule_package is the tool used to create a SELinux policy
       module package from a binary policy module and optionally other
       data such as file contexts.  semodule_package packages binary
       policy modules created by checkmodule.  The policy package
       created by semodule_package can then be installed via semodule.

EXAMPLE         top

       # Build a policy package for a base module.
       $ semodule_package -o base.pp -m base.mod -f file_contexts
       # Build a policy package for a httpd module.
       $ semodule_package -o httpd.pp -m httpd.mod -f httpd.fc
       # Build a policy package for local TE rules and no file contexts.
       $ semodule_package -o local.pp -m local.mod

OPTIONS         top

       -u --user_extra <user extra file>
