Summary: This package contains the libsemanage library, which provides an interface for SELinux management.

Description: 

shared libraries used by SELinux policy manipulation tools
This package provides the shared libraries for the manipulation of
SELinux binary policies. It is used by checkpolicy (the policy compiler)
and similar tools, as well as by programs like load_policy that need
to perform specific transformations on binary policies such as
customizing policy boolean settings. This contains the run-time
libraries needed by such tools.
Security-enhanced Linux is a patch of the Linux kernel and a
number of utilities with enhanced security functionality designed to
add mandatory access controls to Linux.  The Security-enhanced Linux
kernel contains new architectural components originally developed to
improve the security of the Flask operating system. These
architectural components provide general support for the enforcement
of many kinds of mandatory access control policies, including those
based on the concepts of Type Enforcement, Role-based Access
Control, and Multi-level Security.
