=head1 NAME

apparmor.d - syntax of security profiles for AppArmor.

=head1 DESCRIPTION

AppArmor profiles describe mandatory access rights granted to given
programs and are fed to the AppArmor policy enforcement module using
apparmor_parser(8). This man page describes the format of the AppArmor
configuration files; see apparmor(7) for an overview of AppArmor.

=head1 FORMAT

The following is a BNF-style description of AppArmor policy
configuration files; see below for an example AppArmor policy file.
AppArmor configuration files are line-oriented; B<#> introduces a
comment, similar to shell scripting languages. The exception to this
rule is that B<#include> will I<include> the contents of a file inline
to the policy; this behaviour is modelled after cpp(1).

=over 4

B<INCLUDE> = '#include' ( I<ABS PATH> | I<MAGIC PATH> )

B<ABS PATH> = '"' path '"' (the path is passed to open(2))

B<MAGIC PATH> = '<' relative path '>' (the path is relative to F</etc/apparmor.d/>)

B<COMMENT> = '#' I<TEXT>

B<TEXT> = any characters

B<PROFILE> = [ I<COMMENT> ... ] [ I<VARIABLE ASSIGNMENT> ... ] ( '"' I<PROGRAM> '"' | I<PROGRAM> ) [ 'flags=(complain)' ]'{' [ ( I<RESOURCE RULE> | I<COMMENT> | I<INCLUDE> | I<SUBPROFILE> | 'capability ' I<CAPABILITY> | I<NETWORK RULE> | I<MOUNT RULE> | I<FILE RULE> | 'change_profile -> ' I<PROGRAMCHILD> ) ... ] '}'

B<SUBPROFILE> = [ I<COMMENT> ... ] ( I<PROGRAMHAT> | 'profile ' I<PROGRAMCHILD> ) '{' [ ( I<FILE RULE> | I<COMMENT> | I<INCLUDE> ) ... ] '}'

B<CAPABILITY> = (lowercase capability name without 'CAP_' prefix; see
capabilities(7))

B<NETWORK RULE> = 'network' [ [ I<DOMAIN> ] [ I<TYPE> ] [ I <PROTOCOL> ] ] ','

B<DOMAIN> = ( 'inet' | 'ax25' | 'ipx' | 'appletalk' | 'netrom' | 'bridge' | 'atmpvc' | 'x25' | 'inet6' | 'rose' | 'netbeui' | 'security' | 'key' | 'packet' | 'ash' | 'econet' | 'atmsvc' | 'sna' | 'irda' | 'pppox' | 'wanpipe' | 'bluetooth' ) ','

B<TYPE> = ( 'stream' | 'dgram' | 'seqpacket' |  'rdm' | 'raw' | 'packet' )

B<PROTOCOL> = ( 'tcp' | 'udp' | 'icmp' )

B<PROGRAM> = (non-whitespace characters except for '^', must start with '/'. Embedded spaces or tabs must be quoted.)

B<PROGRAMHAT> = '^'  (non-whitespace characters; see aa_change_hat(2) for a description of how this "hat" is used.)

B<PROGRAMCHILD> = I<SUBPROFILE> name

B<MOUNT RULE> = ( I<MOUNT> | I<REMOUNT> | I<UMOUNT> | I<PIVOT ROOT> )

B<MOUNT> = [ 'audit' ] [ 'deny' ] 'mount' [ I<MOUNT CONDITIONS> ] [ I<SOURCE FILEGLOB> ] [ -> [ I<MOUNTPOINT FILEGLOB> ]

B<MOUNT CONDITIONS> = [ ( 'fstype' | 'vfstype' ) ( '=' | 'in' ) I<MOUNT FSTYPE EXPRESSION> ] [ 'options' ( '=' | 'in' ) I<MOUNT FLAGS EXPRESSION> ]

B<MOUNT FSTYPE EXPRESSION> = ( I<MOUNT FSTYPE LIST> | I<MOUNT EXPRESSION> )

B<MOUNT FSTYPE LIST> = Comma separated list of valid filesystem and virtual filesystem types (eg ext4, debugfs, devfs, etc)

B<MOUNT FLAGS EXPRESSION> = ( I<MOUNT FLAGS LIST> | I<MOUNT EXPRESSION> )

B<MOUNT FLAGS LIST> = Comma separated list of I<MOUNT FLAGS>.

B<MOUNT FLAGS> = ( 'ro' | 'rw' | 'nosuid' | 'suid' | 'nodev' | 'dev' | 'noexec' | 'exec' | 'sync' | 'async' | 'remount' | 'mand' | 'nomand' | 'dirsync' | 'nodirsync' | 'noatime' | 'atime' | 'nodiratime' | 'diratime' | 'bind' | 'move' | 'rec' | 'verbose' | 'silent' | 'load' | 'acl' | 'noacl' | 'unbindable' | 'private' | 'slave' | 'shared' | 'relative' | 'norelative' | 'iversion' | 'noiversion' | 'strictatime' | 'nouser' | 'user' )

B<RULE QUALIFIER> = [ 'audit' ] [ 'deny' ] [ 'owner' ]

B<FILEGLOB> = (must start with '/' (after variable expansion), B<AARE> have special meanings; see below. May include I<VARIABLE>. Rules with embedded spaces or tabs must be quoted. Rules must end with '/' to apply to directories.)

B<ACCESS> = ( 'r' | 'w' | 'l' | 'ix' | 'ux' | 'Ux' | 'px' | 'Px' | 'cx -> ' I<PROGRAMCHILD> | 'Cx -> ' I<PROGRAMCHILD> | 'm' ) [ I<ACCESS> ... ]  (not all combinations are allowed; see below.)

B<VARIABLE> = '@{' I<ALPHA> [ ( I<ALPHANUMERIC> | '_' ) ... ] '}'

B<VARIABLE ASSIGNMENT> = I<VARIABLE> ('=' | '+=') (space separated values)

B<ALIAS RULE> = I<ABS PATH> '->' I<REWRITTEN ABS PATH> ','

B<ALPHA> = ('a', 'b', 'c', ... 'z', 'A', 'B', ... 'Z')

B<ALPHANUMERIC> = ('0', '1', '2', ... '9', 'a', 'b', 'c', ... 'z', 'A', 'B', ... 'Z')

=back

All resources and programs need a full path. There may be any number of
subprofiles (aka child profiles) in a profile, limited only by kernel
memory. Subprofile names are limited to 974 characters.  Child profiles can
be used to confine an application in a special way, or when you want the
child to be unconfined on the system, but confined when called from the
parent.  Hats are a special child profile that can be used with the
aa_change_hat(2) API call.  Applications written or modified to use
aa_change_hat(2) can take advantage of subprofiles to run under different
confinements, dependent on program logic. Several aa_change_hat(2)-aware
applications exist, including an Apache module, mod_apparmor(5); a PAM
module, pam_apparmor; and a Tomcat valve, tomcat_apparmor. Applications
written or modified to use change_profile(2) transition permanently to the
specified profile. libvirt is one such application.

=head2 Access Modes

File permission access modes consists of combinations of the following
modes:

=over 8

=item B<r> 	- read

=item B<w> 	- write -- conflicts with append

=item B<a>	- append -- conflicts with write

=item B<ux> 	- unconfined execute

=item B<Ux> 	- unconfined execute -- scrub the environment

=item B<px> 	- discrete profile execute

=item B<Px> 	- discrete profile execute -- scrub the environment

=head2 Access Modes Details

=over 4

=item B<r - Read mode>

Allows the program to have read access to the file or directory listing. Read access is
required for shell scripts and other interpreted content.

=item B<w - Write mode>

Allows the program to have write access to the file. Files and directories
must have this permission if they are to be unlinked (removed.)  Write mode
is not required on a directory to rename or create files within the directory.

This mode conflicts with append mode.

=item B<a - Append mode>

Allows the program to have a limited appending only write access to the file.
Append mode will prevent an application from opening the file for write unless
it passes the O_APPEND parameter flag on open.

The mode conflicts with Write mode.

=item B<ux - Unconfined execute mode>

Allows the program to execute the program without any AppArmor profile
being applied to the program.

This mode is useful when a confined program needs to be able to perform
a privileged operation, such as rebooting the machine. By placing the
privileged section in another executable and granting unconfined
execution rights, it is possible to bypass the mandatory constraints
imposed on all confined processes. For more information on what is
constrained, see the apparmor(7) man page.

B<WARNING> 'ux' should only be used in very special cases. It enables the
designated child processes to be run without any AppArmor protection.
'ux' does not scrub the environment of variables such as LD_PRELOAD;
as a result, the calling domain may have an undue amount of influence
over the callee.  Use this mode only if the child absolutely must be
run unconfined and LD_PRELOAD must be used. Any profile using this mode
provides negligible security. Use at your own risk.

Incompatible with 'Ux', 'px', 'Px', 'cx', 'Cx', 'ix'.

=item B<Ux - unconfined execute -- scrub the environment>

'Ux' allows the named program to run in 'ux' mode, but AppArmor
will invoke the Linux Kernel's B<unsafe_exec> routines to scrub
the environment, similar to setuid programs. (See ld.so(8) for some
information on setuid/setgid environment scrubbing.)

B<WARNING> 'Ux' should only be used in very special cases. It enables the
designated child processes to be run without any AppArmor protection.
Use this mode only if the child absolutely must be run unconfined. Use
at your own risk.

Incompatible with 'ux', 'px', 'Px', 'cx', 'Cx', 'ix'.

=item B<px - Discrete Profile execute mode>

This mode requires that a discrete security profile is defined for a
program executed and forces an AppArmor domain transition. If there is
no profile defined then the access will be denied.

B<WARNING> 'px' does not scrub the environment of variables such as
LD_PRELOAD; as a result, the calling domain may have an undue amount of
influence over the callee.

Incompatible with 'Ux', 'ux', 'Px', 'cx', 'Cx', 'ix'.

=item B<Px - Discrete Profile execute mode -- scrub the environment>

'Px' allows the named program to run in 'px' mode, but AppArmor
will invoke the Linux Kernel's B<unsafe_exec> routines to scrub
the environment, similar to setuid programs. (See ld.so(8) for some
information on setuid/setgid environment scrubbing.)

Incompatible with 'Ux', 'ux', 'px', 'cx', 'Cx', 'ix'.

=item B<cx - Transition to Subprofile execute mode>

This mode requires that a local security profile is defined and forces an
AppArmor domain transition to the named profile. If there is no profile
defined then the access will be denied.

B<WARNING> 'cx' does not scrub the environment of variables such as
LD_PRELOAD; as a result, the calling domain may have an undue amount of
influence over the callee.

Incompatible with 'Ux', 'ux', 'px', 'Px', 'Cx', 'ix'.

=item B<Cx - Transition to Subprofile execute mode -- scrub the environment>

'Cx' allows the named program to run in 'cx' mode, but AppArmor
will invoke the Linux Kernel's B<unsafe_exec> routines to scrub
the environment, similar to setuid programs. (See ld.so(8) for some
information on setuid/setgid environment scrubbing.)

Incompatible with 'Ux', 'ux', 'px', 'Px', 'cx', 'ix'.

=item B<ix - Inherit execute mode>

Prevent the normal AppArmor domain transition on execve(2) when the
profiled program executes the named program. Instead, the executed resource
will inherit the current profile.

This mode is useful when a confined program needs to call another
confined program without gaining the permissions of the target's
profile, or losing the permissions of the current profile. There is no
version to scrub the environment because 'ix' executions don't change
privileges.

Incompatible with 'Ux', 'ux', 'Px', 'px', 'cx', 'Cx'. Implies 'm'.

=item B<m - Allow executable mapping>

This mode allows a file to be mapped into memory using mmap(2)'s
PROT_EXEC flag. This flag marks the pages executable; it is used on some
architectures to provide non-executable data pages, which can complicate
exploit attempts. AppArmor uses this mode to limit which files a
well-behaved program (or all programs on architectures that enforce
non-executable memory access controls) may use as libraries, to limit
the effect of invalid B<-L> flags given to ld(1) and B<LD_PRELOAD>,
B<LD_LIBRARY_PATH>, given to ld.so(8).

=item B<l - Link mode>

Allows the program to be able to create a link with this name.  When a
link is created, the new link B<MUST> have a subset of permissions as
the original file (with the exception that
the destination does not have to have link access.) If there is an 'x' rule
on the new link, it must match the original file exactly.

=item B<k - lock mode>

Allows the program to be able lock a file with this name.  This permission
covers both advisory and mandatory locking.

=back

=head2 Comments

Comments start with # and may begin at any place within a line. The
comment ends when the line ends. This is the same comment style as
shell scripts.

=head2 Capabilities

The only capabilities a confined process may use may be enumerated; for
the complete list, please refer to capabilities(7). Note that granting
some capabilities renders AppArmor confinement for that domain advisory;
while open(2), read(2), write(2), etc., will still return error when
access is not granted, some capabilities allow loading kernel modules,
arbitrary access to IPC, ability to bypass discretionary access controls,
and other operations that are typically reserved for the root user.

=head2 Network Rules

AppArmor supports simple coarse grained network mediation.  The network
rule restrict all socket(2) based operations.  The mediation done is
a course grained check on whether a socket of a given type and family
can be created, read, or written.  There is no mediation based of port
number or protocol beyond tcp, udp, and raw.

AppArmor network rules are accumulated so that the granted network
permissions are the union of all the listed network rule permissions.

AppArmor network rules are broad and general and become more restrictive
as further information is specified.

eg.

 network,		#allow access to all networking
 network tcp,		#allow access to tcp
 network inet tcp,	#allow access to tcp only for inet4 addresses
 network inet6 tcp,	#allow access to tcp only for inet6 addresses

=head2 Mount Rules

AppArmor supports mount mediation and allows specifying filesystem types and
mount flags. The syntax of mount rules in AppArmor is based on the mount(8)
command syntax. Mount rules must contain one of the mount, remount, umount or
pivot_root keywords, but all mount conditions are optional. Unspecified
optional conditionals are assumed to match all entries (eg, not specifying
fstype means all fstypes are matched). Due to the complexity of the mount
command and how options may be specified, AppArmor allows specifying
conditionals three different ways:

=over 4

=item 1.

If a conditional is specified using '=', then the rule only grants permission
for mounts matching the exactly specified options. For example, an AppArmor
policy with the following rule:

=over 4

mount options=ro /dev/foo -> /mnt/,

=back

Would match:

=over 4

$ mount -o ro /dev/foo /mnt

=back

but not either of these:

=over 4

$ mount -o ro,atime /dev/foo /mnt

$ mount -o rw /dev/foo /mnt

=back

=item 2.

If a conditional is specified using 'in', then the rule grants permission for
mounts matching any combination of the specified options. For example, if an
AppArmor policy has the following rule:

=over 4

mount options in (ro,atime) /dev/foo -> /mnt/,

=back

all of these mount commands will match:

=over 4

$ mount -o ro /dev/foo /mnt

$ mount -o ro,atime /dev/foo /mnt

$ mount -o atime /dev/foo /mnt

=back

but none of these will:

=over 4

$ mount -o ro,sync /dev/foo /mnt

$ mount -o ro,atime,sync /dev/foo /mnt

$ mount -o rw /dev/foo /mnt

$ mount -o rw,noatime /dev/foo /mnt

$ mount /dev/foo /mnt

=back

=item 3.

If multiple conditionals are specified in a single mount rule, then the rule
grants permission for each set of options. This provides a shorthand when
writing mount rules which might help to logically break up a conditional. For
example, if an AppArmor policy has the following rule:

=over 4

mount options=ro options=atime

=back

both of these mount commands will match:

=over 4

$ mount -o ro /dev/foo /mnt

$ mount -o atime /dev/foo /mnt

=back

but this one will not:

=over 4

$ mount -o ro,atime /dev/foo /mnt

=back

=back

Note that separate mount rules are distinct and the options do not accumulate.
For example, these AppArmor mount rules:

=over 4

mount options=ro,
mount options=atime,

=back

are not equivalent to either of these mount rules:

=over 4

mount options=(ro,atime),

mount options in (ro,atime),

=back

To help clarify the flexibility and complexity of mount rules, here are some
example rules with accompanying matching commands:

=over 4

=item B<mount,>

the 'mount' rule without any conditionals is the most generic and allows any
mount. Equivalent to 'mount fstype=** options=** ** -> /**'.

=item B<mount /dev/foo,>

allow mounting of /dev/foo anywhere with any options. Some matching mount
commands:

=over 4

$ mount /dev/foo /mnt

$ mount -t ext3 /dev/foo /mnt

$ mount -t vfat /dev/foo /mnt

$ mount -o ro,atime,noexec,nodiratime /dev/foo /srv/some/mountpoint

=back

=item B<mount options=ro /dev/foo,>

allow mounting of /dev/foo anywhere, as read only. Some matching mount
commands:

=over 4

$ mount -o ro /dev/foo /mnt

$ mount -o ro /dev/foo /some/where/else

=back

=item B<mount options=(ro,atime) /dev/foo,>

allow mount of /dev/foo anywhere, as read only and using inode access times.
Some matching mount commands:

=over 4

$ mount -o ro,atime /dev/foo /mnt

$ mount -o ro,atime /dev/foo /some/where/else

=back

=item B<mount options in (ro,atime) /dev/foo,>

allow mount of /dev/foo anywhere using some combination of 'ro' and 'atime'
(see above). Some matching mount commands:

=over 4

$ mount -o ro /dev/foo /mnt

$ mount -o atime /dev/foo /some/where/else

$ mount -o ro,atime /dev/foo /some/other/place

=back

=item B<mount options=ro /dev/foo, mount options=atime /dev/foo,>

allow mount of /dev/foo anywhere as read only, and allow mount of /dev/foo
anywhere using inode access times. Note this is expressed as two different
rules. Matches:

=over 4

$ mount -o ro /dev/foo /mnt/1

$ mount -o atime /dev/foo /mnt/2

=back

=item B<< mount -> /mnt/**, >>

allow mounting anything under a directory in /mnt/**. Some matching mount
commands:

=over 4

$ mount /dev/foo1 /mnt/1

$ mount -o ro,atime,noexec,nodiratime /dev/foo2 /mnt/deep/path/foo2

=back

=item B<< mount options=ro -> /mnt/**, >>

allow mounting anything under /mnt/**, as read only. Some matching mount
commands:

=over 4

$ mount -o ro /dev/foo1 /mnt/1

$ mount -o ro /dev/foo2 /mnt/deep/path/foo2

=back

=item B<< mount fstype=ext3 options=(rw,atime) /dev/sdb1 -> /mnt/stick/, >>

allow mounting an ext3 filesystem in /dev/sdb1 on /mnt/stick as read/write and
using inode access times. Matches only:

=over 4

$ mount -o rw,atime /dev/sdb1 /mnt/stick

=back

=item B<< mount options=(ro, atime) options in (nodev, user) /dev/foo -> /mnt/, >>

allow mounting /dev/foo on /mmt/ read only and using inode access times or
allow mounting /dev/foo on /mnt/ with some combination of 'nodev' and 'user'.
Matches only:

=over 4

$ mount -o ro,atime /dev/foo /mnt

$ mount -o nodev /dev/foo /mnt

$ mount -o user /dev/foo /mnt

$ mount -o nodev,user /dev/foo /mnt

=back

=back

=head2 Variables

AppArmor's policy language allows embedding variables into file rules
to enable easier configuration for some common (and pervasive) setups.
Variables may have multiple values assigned, but any variable assignments
must be made before the start of the profile.

The parser will automatically expand variables to include all values
that they have been assigned; it is an error to reference a variable
without setting at least one value.

At the time of this writing, only B<@{HOME}> and B<@{HOMEDIRS}> are defined
in the AppArmor policy provided, in the F</etc/apparmor.d/tunables/home>
file; these variables are used in many of the abstractions described later.
You may also add files in F</etc/apparmor.d/tunables/home.d> for
site-specific customization of B<@{HOMEDIRS}>.

=head2 Alias rules

AppArmor also provides alias rules for remapping paths for site-specific
layouts. They are an alternative form of path rewriting to using variables,
and are done after variable resolution. Alias rules must occur within the
preamble of the profile. System-wide aliases are found in
F</etc/apparmor.d/tunables/alias>, which is included by
F</etc/apparmor.d/tunables/global>. F</etc/apparmor.d/tunables/global> is
typically included at the beginning of an AppArmor profile.

=head2 Globbing

File resources may be specified with a globbing syntax similar to that
used by popular shells, such as csh(1), bash(1), zsh(1).

=over 4

=item B<*>

can substitute for any number of characters, excepting '/'

=item B<**>

can substitute for any number of characters, including '/'

=item B<?>

can substitute for any single character excepting '/'

=item B<[abc]>

will substitute for the single character a, b, or c

=item B<[a-c]>

will substitute for the single character a, b, or c

=item B<[^a-c]>

will substitute for any single character not matching a, b or c

=item B<{ab,cd}>

will expand to one rule to match ab, one rule to match cd

=back

When AppArmor looks up a directory the pathname being looked up will
end with a slash (e.g., F</var/tmp/>); otherwise it will not end with a
slash. Only rules that match a trailing slash will match directories. Some
examples, none matching the F</tmp/> directory itself, are:

=over 4

=item B</tmp/*>

Files directly in F</tmp>.

=item B</tmp/*/>

Directories directly in F</tmp>.

=item B</tmp/**>

Files and directories anywhere underneath F</tmp>.

=item B</tmp/**/>

Directories anywhere underneath F</tmp>.

=back

=head2 Rule Qualifiers

There are several rule qualifiers that can be applied to permission rules.
Rule qualifiers can modify the rule and/or permissions within the rule.

=over 4

=item B<audit>

Specifies that permissions requests that match the rule should be recorded
to the audit log.

=item B<deny>

Specifies that permissions requests that match the rule should be denied
without logging. Can be combined with 'audit' to enable logging.

=item B<owner>

Specifies that the task must have the same euid/fsuid as the object being
referenced by the permission check.

=back

=head2 #include mechanism

AppArmor provides an easy abstraction mechanism to group common file
access requirements; this abstraction is an extremely flexible way to
grant site-specific rights and makes writing new AppArmor profiles very
simple by assembling the needed building blocks for any given program.

The use of '#include' is modelled directly after cpp(1); its use will
replace the '#include' statement with the specified file's contents.
B<#include "/absolute/path"> specifies that F</absolute/path> should be
used.  B<#include "relative/path"> specifies that F<relative/path> should
be used, where the path is relative to the current working directory.
B<#include E<lt>magic/pathE<gt>> is the most common usage; it will load
F<magic/path> relative to a directory specified to apparmor_parser(8).
F</etc/apparmor.d/> is the AppArmor default.

The supplied AppArmor profiles follow several conventions; the
abstractions stored in F</etc/apparmor.d/abstractions/> are some
large clusters that are used in most profiles. What follows are short
descriptions of how some of the abstractions are used.

=over 4


=item F<abstractions/audio>

Includes accesses to device files used for audio applications.

=item F<abstractions/authentication>

Includes access to files and services typically necessary for services
that perform user authentication.

=item F<abstractions/base>

Includes files that should be readable and writable in all profiles.

=item F<abstractions/bash>

Includes many files used by bash; useful for interactive shells and
programs that call system(3).

=item F<abstractions/consoles>

Includes read and write access to the device files controlling the
virtual console, sshd(8), xterm(1), etc. This abstraction is needed for
many programs that interact with users.

=item F<abstractions/fonts>

Includes access to fonts and the font libraries.

=item F<abstractions/gnome>

Includes read and write access to GNOME configuration files, as well as
read access to GNOME libraries.

=item F<abstractions/kde>

Includes read and write access to KDE configuration files, as well as
read access to KDE libraries.

=item F<abstractions/kerberosclient>

Includes file access rules needed for common kerberos clients.

=item F<abstractions/nameservice>

Includes file rules to allow DNS, LDAP, NIS, SMB, user and group password
databases, services, and protocols lookups.

=item F<abstractions/perl>

Includes read access to perl modules.

=item F<abstractions/user-download>

=item F<abstractions/user-mail>

=item F<abstractions/user-manpages>

=item F<abstractions/user-tmp>

=item F<abstractions/user-write>

Some profiles for typical "user" programs will use these include files
to describe rights that users have in the system.

=item F<abstractions/wutmp>

Includes write access to files used to maintain wtmp(5) and utmp(5)
databases, used with the w(1) and associated commands.

=item F<abstractions/X>

Includes read access to libraries, configuration files, X authentication
files, and the X socket.

=back

The abstractions stored in F</etc/apparmor.d/program-chunks/> are
intended for use by specific program suites, and are not generally
useful.

Some of the abstractions rely on variables that are set in files in the
F</etc/apparmor.d/tunables/> directory. These variables are currently
B<@{HOME}> and B<@{HOMEDIRS}>. Variables cannot be set in profile scope;
they can only be set before the profile. Therefore, any profiles that
use abstractions should either B<#include E<lt>tunables/globalE<gt>> or
otherwise ensure that B<@{HOME}> and B<@{HOMEDIRS}> are set before
starting the profile definition. The aa-autodep(8) and aa-genprof(8) utilities
will automatically emit B<#include E<lt>tunables/globalE<gt>> in
generated profiles.

=head1 EXAMPLE

An example AppArmor profile:

	# a variable definition in the preamble
	@{HOME} = /home/*/ /root/

	# a comment about foo.
	/usr/bin/foo {
	  /bin/mount          ux,
  	  /dev/{,u}random     r,
  	  /etc/ld.so.cache    r,
  	  /etc/foo.conf       r,
  	  /etc/foo/*          r,
  	  /lib/ld-*.so*       rmix,
  	  /lib/lib*.so*       r,
  	  /proc/[0-9]**       r,
  	  /usr/lib/**         r,
  	  /tmp/foo.pid        wr,
  	  /tmp/foo.*          lrw,
	  /@{HOME}/.foo_file  rw,
	  /usr/bin/baz        Cx -> baz,

	  # a comment about foo's hat (subprofile), bar.
  	  ^bar {
  	    /lib/ld-*.so*       rmix,
  	    /usr/bin/bar        rmix,
  	    /var/spool/*        rwl,
  	  }

	  # a comment about foo's subprofile, baz.
	  profile baz {
	    #include <abstractions/bash>
	    owner /proc/[0-9]*/stat r,
	    /bin/bash ixr,
	    /var/lib/baz/ r,
	    owner /var/lib/baz/* rw,

=head1 KNOWN BUGS

=over 4

Mount options support the use of pattern matching but mount flags are not
correctly intersected against specified patterns. Eg, 'mount options=**,'
should be equivalent to 'mount,', but it is not. (LP: #965690)

The fstype may not be matched against when certain mount command flags are
used. Specifically fstype matching currently only works when creating a new
mount and not remount, bind, etc.

Mount rules with multiple 'options' conditionals are not applied as documented
but instead merged such that 'options in (ro,nodev) options in (atime)' is
equivalent to 'options in (ro,nodev,atime)'.

When specifying mount options with the 'in' conditional, both the positive and
negative values match when specifying one or the other. Eg, 'rw' matches when
'ro' is specified and 'dev' matches when 'nodev' is specified such that
'options in (ro,nodev)' is equivalent to 'options in (rw,dev)'.
