## NAME

ostree-admin-instutil - Utility functions intended primarily for operating system installation programs

## SYNOPSIS

**ostree admin instutil** {SUBCOMMAND} \[ARGS\]

## DESCRIPTION

Use the subcommands to toggle admin installation utilities for selinux policies and kernel arguments.

## SUBCOMMANDS

**selinux-ensure-labeled** \[SUBPATH PREFIX\]

Ensure all files and directories are labeled according to SELinux policy of the first deployment.

**set-kargs** \[--merge\] \[--import-proc-cmdline\] \[--append="NAME=VALUE"\] \[--replace="NAME=VALUE"\] \[MORE\_APPEND\_ARGS\]

Replace the kernel arguments of the default deployment. The new arguments are based on an empty list (the default), the current options (--merge), or the arguments of the loaded kernel (--import-proc-cmdline), and new options either are added to the end (--append="NAME=VALUE") or replace existing arguments of the same name (--replace="NAME=VALUE").
