semanage: Manage policy modules.
$ semanage module -S ${store} ${select} ${select1} ${module_name}
try on your machine

The command semanage module -S ${store} ${select} ${select1} ${module_name} is used to manage SELinux policy modules on a system.

Here is an explanation of each part of the command:

  • semanage: This is the command-line tool for managing SELinux policy.
  • module: This subcommand is used to manage SELinux policy modules specifically.
  • -S: This option is used to specify the target policy store. The ${store} variable should be replaced with the desired policy store, which could be "disable" (to disable a module), "enable" (to enable a module), or "list" (to list all available modules).
  • ${select} and ${select1}: These variables are optional and are used to provide selection criteria for the modules to operate on. The specific values depend on the context and the available selection options.
  • ${module_name}: This variable is used to specify the name of the SELinux module to perform the operation on. The module name should be replaced with the actual name of the module you want to manage.

Overall, this command allows you to enable, disable, or list SELinux policy modules using the semanage tool in accordance with the specified target store and module name.
