customizable_types(5)	     SELinux configuration	 customizable_types(5)

NAME
       customizable_types - The SELinux customizable types configuration file.

DESCRIPTION
       The  customizable_types	file contains a list of types that can be cus‐
       tomised in some way by SELinux-aware applications.

       Generally this is a file context type that is usually set on files that
       need  to	 be  shared  among certain domains and where the administrator
       wants to manually manage the type.

       The  use	 of customizable types is deprecated as the preferred approach
       is  to  use semanage fcontext ...  (8). However, SELinux-aware applica‐
       tions such as setfiles(8) will use this information to obtain a list of
       types relating to files that should not be relabeled.

       selinux_customizable_types_path(3)  will	 return the active policy path
       to this file. The default customizable types file is:
	      /etc/selinux/{SELINUXTYPE}/contexts/customizable_types

       Where {SELINUXTYPE} is the entry from the  selinux  configuration  file
       config (see selinux_config(5)).

       is_context_customizable(3) reads this file to determine if a context is
       customisable or not for the active policy.

FILE FORMAT
       Each line in the file consists of the following:
	      type

       Where:
	      type
		     The type defined in the policy that can be customised.

EXAMPLE
       # ./contexts/customizable_types
       mount_loopback_t
       public_content_rw_t
       public_content_t
       swapfile_t
       sysadm_untrusted_content_t
