Accessing SELinux policy documentation
There are many excellent man pages for the confined domains included with SELinux policy. These man pages describe booleans and context types for each domain. They also include sample semanage commands for adding context mappings, changing booleans, and more.
Unfortunately for the sysadmin getting started with SELinux configuration, these man pages are often not installed by default. The SELinux policy man pages are available from two locations. The upstream Reference Policy repo has a handful of pre-built man pages. The rest can be generated from the policy content with a tool found in the policycoreutils-devel package.
