default_type - The SELinux default type configuration file

The default_type file contains entries that allow SELinux-aware applications such as newrole(1) to select a default type for a role if one is not supplied. selinux_default_type_path(3) will return the active policy path to this file. The default, default type file is: /etc/selinux/{SELINUXTYPE}/contexts/default_type Where {SELINUXTYPE} is the entry from the selinux configuration file config (see selinux_config(5)). get_default_type(3) reads this file to determine a type for the active policy.

# ./contexts/default_type auditadm_r:auditadm_t user_r:user_t

Each line within the default_type file is formatted with role:type entries where: role The SELinux role. type The domain type that is returned for this role.
