GENPOLUSERS(8)

💖 GENPOLUSERS — the genpolusers(8) page, but make it cute 💖

okay so bestie, we're in section 8 of the SELinux Command Line documentation, and today's main character is genpolusers. pull up a chair, grab a strawberry 🍓, and let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

genpolusers — generate a new binary policy with updated user configuration 💅

like, it literally says what it does. no notes. iconic.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

genpolusers in-policy usersdir out-policy

three args. that's the whole vibe. in, dir, out. periodt.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the tea ☕: you hand it an existing binary policy file, in-policy, and it hands you back a brand new binary policy, out-policy — except this new one has an updated user configuration. where does that updated config come from? from any system.users and local.users files chillin' inside the usersdir you specified. 🎀

that's it. that's the function. lowkey elegant, highkey useful. slay.

👑 AUTHOR 👑

this manual page — and literally just the manual page, okay, not the program itself, don't get it twisted 🙈 — was written by Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org>. we love a credited author. respect the craft. 🫶

and that's the whole page, bestie!! no cap, you now know everything genpolusers has to offer. this was the SELinux era, dated Mar 12 2005 — vintage but still serving looks. go forth and generate those policies ✨💜
