semanage: Take a set of commands from a specified file and load them in a single transaction.
$ semanage -S ${store} -i ${path-to-input_file}
try on your machine

The command semanage -S ${store} -i ${path-to-input_file} is used to manage and modify SELinux policy on a system.

Here is the breakdown of the command:

  • semanage: It is the command-line utility used for managing SELinux policy.
  • -S ${store}: The -S option is used to specify the SELinux policy store to work with. ${store} is a placeholder that represents the path to the SELinux policy store.
  • -i ${path-to-input_file}: The -i option is used to install or import a new SELinux policy module from a file. ${path-to-input_file} is a placeholder that represents the path to the input file containing the SELinux policy module.

In summary, the command is instructing semanage to install or import a new SELinux policy module from the specified input file and use the provided SELinux policy store for managing the policy.
