Defining file contexts through patterns
SELinux policy modules can contain file context definitions through their .fc files. In these files, path expressions are used to point to the various locations that should match a particular file context, and class identifiers are used to differentiate file context definitions based on the file class (directories, regular files, symbolic links, and more).
In this recipe, we'll create a mylogging SELinux module, which defines additional path specifications for logging-related contexts. We will use direct file paths as well as regular expressions, and take a look at the various class identifiers.
