💅 SECIL2TREE — the SELinux CIL AST Writer glow-up

okay so bestie, welcome to secil2tree, section 8 of the manuals 🎀 — she's the SELinux CIL AST Writer, and she's here to make your Common Intermediate Language files spill their whole syntax tree. no gatekeeping, no vibes-based guesswork, just the AST. periodt. ✨

✨ NAME ✨

secil2tree — literally just: invoke the SELinux Common Intermediate Language (CIL) AST Writer. that's the whole personality. 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

secil2tree [OPTION...] file

yeah that's it. one file, a pile of OPTIONs if you're feeling spicy. slay.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

secil2tree invokes the CIL AST Writer with the specified arguments. like, it takes your args, it hands them over, the AST Writer does its little thing. iconic behavior honestly. 👑

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

here's the full menu, and bestie we are NOT skipping a single one, every flag gets her moment:

  • -o, --output=<file> — write the AST to file instead of yelling it into the void. default: stdout. 💌
  • -P, --preserve-tunables — treat tunables as booleans. yes queen, keep them as-is. 🫶
  • -Q, --qualified-names — allow names containing dots (aka qualified names). heads up though: blocks, blockinherits, blockabstracts, and in-statements will not be allowed. it's giving ✨tradeoffs✨. ⚠️
  • -A, --ast-phase=<phase> — write the AST of phase phase. it must be parse, build, or resolve. default: resolve. pick your fighter. 🥊
  • -v, --verbose — increment the verbosity level. stack it, stack it, stack it. 🗣️
  • -h, --help — display usage information. when in doubt, ask the girl herself. 🙈
