NAME

chk_encodings- Check the label encodings file syntax

SYNOPSIS

/usr/sbin/chk_encodings [-a] [-c maxclass] [pathname]

DESCRIPTION

chk_encodings checks the syntax of the label-encodings file specified by pathname; with the -a option, chk_encodings also prints a semantic analysis of the label-encodings file specified by pathname. If pathname is not specified, chk_encodings checks and analyzes /etc/security/tsol/label_encodings.

If label-encodings file analysis was requested, whatever analysis can be provided is written to the standard output file even if errors were found.
