usage: /usr/bin/checkmodule [-h] [-V] [-b] [-C] [-E] [-U handle_unknown] [-m] [-M] [-N] [-L] [-o FILE] [-c VERSION] [INPUT]
Build base and policy modules.
Options:
INPUT build module from INPUT (else read from "policy.conf")
-V show policy versions created by this program
-b treat input as a binary policy file
-C output CIL policy instead of binary policy
-E treat warnings as errors
-h print usage
-U OPTION How to handle unknown classes and permissions
deny: Deny unknown kernel checks
reject: Reject loading of policy with unknowns
allow: Allow unknown kernel checks
-m build a policy module instead of a base module
-M enable MLS policy
-N do not check neverallow rules
-L output line markers for allow rules
-o FILE write module to FILE (else just check syntax)
-c VERSION build a policy module targeting a modular policy version (4-24)
