This screen shows the 'file types' of the specified 'class' that will be created by processes running with '%(APP)s' type in the '%(APP)s' directory.


SELinux allows policy writers to define file transition rules.  These rules define the label of a newly create file system object.

By default an newly created file system object will get the label of the directory the object is being created in.

Creating an file in a directory with the file type of etc_t will get the label etc_t.  In certain situations SELinux aware applications
can override this behavior, for example the passwd command creates /etc/shadow with a type of shadow_t.

A third option is for policy writers to write a transition rule.  For example a process labeled NetworkManager creating content in a directory labeled etc_t will create it with the label net_conf_t.

File Transition Rules can be written to create all objects of a particular class, or specific to a particular file name.

You need to build a policy module if you want to add additional File Transition Rules.
