NAME
       semodule_deps - show the dependencies between 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 modules requirements to be satisfied. It only deals
       with requirements, not optional dependencies.

       In order for semodule_deps to give useful information the list of pack
       ages  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 mod
       ule 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
