-====== SELinux - SELinux Policy Module ======
-A SELinux policy module is built by following steps:
-  * Generate a set of policy rules: audit2allow
-  * Compile: checkmodule
-  * Build: semodule_package
-See http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/SELinux
-Assuming that I have a postgreylocal.te file with the following content:
-<code>
-module postgreylocal 1.0;
-require {
-        type postfix_smtpd_t;
-        type postfix_spool_t;
-        type initrc_t;
-        class sock_file write;
-        class unix_stream_socket connectto;
-}
-#============= postfix_smtpd_t ==============
-allow postfix_smtpd_t initrc_t:unix_stream_socket connectto;
-allow postfix_smtpd_t postfix_spool_t:sock_file write;
-</code>
-The postgreylocal.pp policy module will be created with:
-<code bash>
-# checkmodule -M -m -o postgreylocal.mod postgreylocal.te
-# semodule_package -m postgreylocal.mod -o postgreylocal.pp
-</code>
-To unpack (disassemble) this policy module, you need a tool which is called **semodule_unpackage** to extract the .mod file and then use **dismod** to disassemble the binary module to textual representation.
-On my Gentoo, the following packages need to be installed:

-Firstly, extract the module from .pp file:
-<code bash>
-semodule_unpackage postgreylocal.pp postgreylocal.mod
-</code>
-and secondly, disassemble with dismod:
-<code bash>
-# cd checkpolicy-2.1.0/test/
-# ls
-dismod.c  dispol.c  Makefile
-# make
-cc -g -Wall -O2 -pipe -I/usr/include   -c -o dispol.o dispol.c

-===== Comments =====
-On Fedora it is named,sedismod. It is already available along with checkpolicy and semodule_unpack with the default installation. Btw, via semodule_unpackage foo.pp foo.mod foo.fc you can also extract the filecontexts file.
