       fcontext Manage file context mapping definitions

       boolean Manage booleans to selectively enable functionality

       permissive Manage process type enforcement mode

DESCRIPTION
       semanage is used to configure certain elements of SELinux policy  with-
       out  requiring  modification  to  or recompilation from policy sources.
       This includes the mapping from Linux usernames to SELinux user  identi-
       ties  (which  controls  the  initial security context assigned to Linux
       users when they login and bounds their authorized role set) as well  as
       security context mappings for various kinds of objects, such as network
       ports, interfaces, infiniband pkeys and endports, and nodes (hosts)  as
       well  as the file context mapping. Note that the semanage login command
       deals with the mapping from Linux usernames (logins)  to  SELinux  user
       identities, while the semanage user command deals with the mapping from
       SELinux user identities to authorized role sets.  In most  cases,  only
       the  former mapping needs to be adjusted by the administrator; the lat-
       ter is principally defined by the base policy and usually does not  re-
       quire modification.
