# tomoyo-selectpolicy(8)

policy selection utility for TOMOYO Linux

## NAME

tomoyo-selectpolicy - policy selection utility for TOMOYO Linux

## SYNOPSIS

**tomoyo-selectpolicy** \[*options*\] *\<domain\>* ...

## DESCRIPTION

This program reads domain policy from standard input, and outputs policy from the specified domain to standard output.

## OPTIONS

- **-r**

  Pick up all domains whose domain name starts with the specified string.

- *\<domain\>*

  The string must be quoted or escaped to avoid misinterpretation by the shell. It only matches an exact string unless the `"-r"` option is specified.

## EXAMPLES

- **Pick up domain policy for sshd and its descendents**

  ```
    tomoyo-selectpolicy -r '<kernel> /usr/sbin/sshd' < /sys/kernel/security/tomoyo/domain_policy
  ```
