NAME         top

       semanage-dontaudit - SELinux Policy Management dontaudit tool

SYNOPSIS         top

       semanage dontaudit [-h] [-S STORE] [-N] {on,off}

DESCRIPTION         top

       semanage is used to configure certain elements of SELinux policy
       without requiring modification to or recompilation from policy
       sources.  semanage dontaudit toggles whether or not dontaudit
       rules will be in the policy. Policy writers use dontaudit rules to
       cause confined applications to use alternative paths. Dontaudit
       rules are denied but not reported in the logs. Sometimes dontaudit
       rules can cause bugs in applications but policy writers will not
       realize it since the AVC is not audited. Turn off dontaudit rules
       with this command to see if the kernel is blocking an access.

OPTIONS         top

       -h, --help
              Show this help message and exit

       -S STORE, --store STORE
              Select an alternate SELinux Policy Store to manage

       -N, --noreload
              Do not reload the policy after commit
