## DESCRIPTION

secilc invokes the CIL compiler with the specified arguments to build a kernel binary policy. A file_contexts file will also be built as described in the FILE FORMAT section of

file_contexts

5.

## OPTIONS

`-o, --output=<file>`

Write binary policy to file (default: policy.version)

`-f, --filecontext=<file>`

Write file contexts to file (default: file_contexts)

`-t, --target=<type>`

Specify target architecture. May be selinux or xen (default: selinux)

`-M, --mls true|false`

Build an mls policy. Must be true or false. This will override the (mls boolean) statement if present in the policy.

`-c, --policyvers=<version>`

Build a binary policy with a given version (default: depends on the systems SELinux policy version, see

sestatus

8)

`-U, --handle-unknown=<action>`

How to handle unknown classes or permissions. May be deny, allow, or reject (default: deny). This will override the (handleunknown action) statement if present in the policy.

`-D, --disable-dontaudit`

Do not add dontaudit rules to the binary policy.

`-P, --preserve-tunables`

Treat tunables as booleans.

`-N, --disable-neverallow`

Do not check neverallow rules.
