#SELinux Userspace

This is the upstream repository for the Security Enhanced Linux (SELinux) userland libraries and tools. A separate repo and wiki exists for the kernel, see https://github.com/selinuxproject/selinux-kernel/wiki. The software provided by this project complements the SELinux features integrated into the Linux kernel and is used by Linux distributions. The tools provide the following capabilities:

* Policy compilation - low-level tools that perform the conversion of the text-based SELinux policy language into the format used by the kernel for enforcement.

* Policy management - tools (e.g., semodule and semanage) and libraries (e.g., libsemanage) used to install, remove, and update SELinux policies on running systems.

* Policy development - tools to aid in the creation and updating of policies (e.g., audit2why and audit2allow).

* SELinux services - libraries (e.g., libselinux) for applications that must be aware of SELinux or enforce access control decisions using SELinux (e.g., Dbus).

* SELinux utilities - low-level utilities (e.g., setenforce and restorecon) for administering and SELinux-enabled system.

The software can be obtained as tested releases or from the development repository
