NAME         top

       semanage-permissive - SELinux Policy Management permissive
       mapping tool

SYNOPSIS         top

       semanage permissive [-h] [-n] [-N] [-S STORE] (--add TYPE |
       --delete TYPE | --deleteall | --extract | --list)

DESCRIPTION         top

       semanage is used to configure certain elements of SELinux policy
       without requiring modification to or recompilation from policy
       sources.  semanage permissive adds or removes a SELinux Policy
       permissive module. Please note that this command can make any
       domain permissive, but can only remove the permissive property
       from domains where it was added by semanage permissive ("semanage
       permissive -d" can only be used on types listed as "Customized
       Permissive Types" by "semanage permissive -l").
