NAME
semodule - Manage SELinux policy modules.
SYNOPSIS
semodule [options]... MODE [MODES]...
DESCRIPTION
semodule is the tool used to manage SELinux policy modules, including
installing, upgrading, listing and removing modules. semodule may also
be used to force a rebuild of policy from the module store and/or to
force a reload of policy without performing any other transaction.
semodule acts on module packages created by semodule_package. Conven-
tionally, these files have a .pp suffix (policy package), although this
is not mandated in any way.
