NAME
       semodule_deps  - show the dependencies between SELinux policy packages.


SYNOPSIS
       semodule_deps [-v -g -b] basemodpkg modpkg1 [modpkg2 ... ]

DESCRIPTION
       semodule_deps is a developer tool for showing the dependencies  between
       policy  packages. For each module it prints a list of modules that must
       be present for a module’s requirements to be satisfied. It  only	 deals
       with requirements, not optional dependencies.

       In order for semodule_deps to give useful information the list of pack-
       ages passed in cannot have unsatisfied dependencies.  In	 general  this
       means that the list of modules will usually be quite long.

       By default options to the base module are excluded as almost every mod-
       ule has this dependency. The -b option will include these dependencies.

       In  addition  to	 human	readable  output, semodule_deps can output the
       dependencies in	the  Graphviz  dot  format  (http://www.graphviz.org/)
       using  the  -g  option.	This  is useful for producing a picture of the
       dependencies.


OPTIONS
       -v     verbose mode

       -g     output dependency information in Graphviz dot format

       -b     include dependencies to the base module - by default  these  are
	      excluded
