apparmor_parser - loads AppArmor profiles into the kernel
SYNOPSIS
apparmor_parser [-adrR] [--add] [--debug] [--replace] [--remove]
[--preprocess] [--Include n] [--base n] [ --Complain ]
apparmor_parser [-hv] [--help] [--version]
DESCRIPTION
apparmor_parser is used to import new apparmor.d(5) profiles into the Linux kernel. The profiles restrict the
operations available to processes by executable name.
The profiles are loaded into the Linux kernel by the apparmor_parser program, which takes its input from standard
input. The input supplied to apparmor_parser should be in the format described in apparmor.d(5).
OPTIONS
-a, --add
Insert the AppArmor definitions given into the kernel. This is the default action. This gives an error mes-
sage if a AppArmor definition by the same name already exists in the kernel, or if the parser doesn't under-
stand its input. It reports when an addition succeeded.
-r, --replace
This flag is required if an AppArmor definition by the same name already exists in the kernel; used to
replace the definition already in the kernel with the definition given on standard input.
-R, --remove
This flag is used to remove an AppArmor definition already in the kernel. Note that it still requires a com-
plete AppArmor definition as described in apparmor.d(5) even though the contents of the definition aren't
used.
-p, --preprocess
Parse the profile(s) and process include directives and output the result to stdout.
-I n, --Include n
Add element n to the search path when resolving #include directives defined as an absolute paths.
-b n, --base n
Set the base directory for resolving #include directives defined as relative paths.
-C, --Complain
Load the profile in complain mode.
-h, --help
Give a quick reference guide.
-v, --version
Print the version number and exit.
-d, --debug
Given once, only checks the profiles to ensure syntactic correctness. Given twice, dumps its interpretation
of the profile for checking.
