usage: /usr/bin/semodule [option]... MODE...
Manage SELinux policy modules.
MODES:
-R, --reload reload policy
-B, --build build and reload policy
-D,--disable_dontaudit Remove dontaudits from policy
-i,--install=MODULE_PKG install a new module
-r,--remove=MODULE_NAME remove existing module at desired priority
-l[KIND],--list-modules[=KIND] display list of installed modules
KIND: standard list highest priority, enabled modules
full list all modules
-X,--priority=PRIORITY set priority for following operations (1-999)
-e,--enable=MODULE_NAME enable module
-d,--disable=MODULE_NAME disable module
-E,--extract=MODULE_NAME extract module
Options:
-s,--store name of the store to operate on
-N,-n,--noreload do not reload policy after commit
-h,--help print this message and quit
-v,--verbose be verbose
-P,--preserve_tunables Preserve tunables in policy
-C,--ignore-module-cache Rebuild CIL modules compiled from HLL files
-g,--config=PATH use an alternate path for the semanage config
-p,--path use an alternate path for the policy root
-S,--store-path use an alternate path for the policy store root
-c, --cil extract module as cil. This only affects module extraction.
-H, --hll extract module as hll. This only affects module extraction.
-m, --checksum print module checksum (SHA256).
--refresh like --build, but reuses existing linked policy if no
changes to module files are detected (via checksum)
Deprecated options:
-b,--base same as --install
--rebuild-if-modules-changed
same as --refresh
