LOAD_POLICY(8)                     NSA                    LOAD_POLICY(8)

NAME

       load_policy - load a new SELinux policy into the kernel

SYNOPSIS

       load_policy [-qi]

DESCRIPTION

       load_policy loads the installed policy file into the kernel.  The
       existing policy boolean values are automatically preserved across
       policy reloads rather than being reset to the default values in
       the policy file.

OPTIONS

       -q     suppress warning messages.

       -i     initial policy load. Only use this if this is the first
              time policy is being loaded since boot (usually called
              from initramfs).

EXIT STATUS

       0      Success

       1      Invalid option

       2      Policy load failed

       3      Initial policy load failed and enforcing mode requested
