port Manage network port type definitions
interface Manage network interface type definitions
module Manage SELinux policy modules
node Manage network node type definitions
fcontext Manage file context mapping definitions
boolean Manage booleans to selectively enable functionality

DESCRIPTION
semanage is used to configure certain elements of SELinux policy with‐
out requiring modification to or recompilation from policy sources.
This includes the mapping from Linux usernames to SELinux user identi‐
ties (which controls the initial security context assigned to Linux
users when they login and bounds their authorized role set) as well as
security context mappings for various kinds of objects, such as network
ports, interfaces, and nodes (hosts) as well as the file context map‐
ping. Note that the semanage login command deals with the mapping from
Linux usernames (logins) to SELinux user identities, while the semanage
user command deals with the mapping from SELinux user identities to
authorized role sets. In most cases, only the former mapping needs to
be adjusted by the administrator; the latter is principally defined by
the base policy and usually does not require modification.
