.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
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 dependencies. 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.
