NAME
       semodule_deps - show the dependencies between SELinux policy packages.


SYNOPSIS
       semodule_deps [-v -g -b] basemodpkg modpkg1 [modpkg2 ... ]

DESCRIPTION
       semodule_deps  is a developer tool for showing the dependencies between policy packages. For each module it prints a list
       of modules that must be present for a module's requirements to  be  satisfied.  It  only  deals  with  requirements,  not
       optional dependencies.

       In  order  for  semodule_deps to give useful information the list of packages passed in cannot have unsatisfied dependen-
       cies. In general this means that the list of modules will usually be quite long.

       By default options to the base module are excluded as almost every module has this dependency. The -b option will include
       these dependencies.

       In  addition  to  human  readable  output,  semodule_deps  can  output  the  dependencies  in  the  Graphviz  dot  format
       (http://www.graphviz.org/) using the -g option. This is useful for producing a picture of the dependencies.


OPTIONS
       -v     verbose mode

       -g     output dependency information in Graphviz dot format

       -b     include dependencies to the base module - by default these are excluded
