💖 SECILCHECK — the page, section 8 💖

okay bestie so you know how CIL has a neverallow checker? this is the little icon that calls it. secilcheck, manual page 8, come get your girl 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

secilcheck — literally just invokes the CIL neverallow checker 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

secilcheck [OPTION...] binary file...

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the tea, bestie: secilcheck invokes the CIL neverallow checker, and it does it with the arguments you hand it. That's the whole gig. It's giving "middle management but make it SELinux." 👑

You pass it your <italic>binary file...</italic> — yes, plural, files, more than one is allowed, we love a multitasker — and off it goes. ✨

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -Q, --qualified-names — lets names with dots in them through (aka qualified names, iykyk). But listen: blocks, blockinherits, blockabstracts, and in-statements will not be allowed. It's one or the other, no take-backs, periodt. 💀
  • -m, --multiple-decls — allows some statements to be re-declared. Not all of them! Just some. She's selective like that. 💅
  • -v, --verbose — crank the verbosity level up by one. Every time you pass it, it gets louder. Stack it if you want her to yap. 😭
  • -h, --help — shows you the usage info. The "what do I even do here" button, no shame in pressing it. 🫶

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

Also!! There's HTML documentation that describes the CIL language statements, and it's available starting with docs/html/index.html. 📚

And there's PDF documentation describing the CIL language statements too, available at: docs/pdf/CIL_Reference_Guide.pdf. 🍓
