.SH NAME
aa\-exec \- confine a program with the specified AppArmor profile
.SH SYNOPSIS
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
\&\fBaa-exec\fR [options] [\-\-] [\fI<command>\fR ...]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fBaa-exec\fR is used to launch a program confined by the specified profile
and or namespace.  If both a profile and namespace are specified command
will be confined by profile in the new policy namespace.  If only a namespace
is specified, the profile name of the current confinement will be used.  If
neither a profile or namespace is specified command will be run using
standard profile attachment (ie. as if run without the aa-exec command).
.PP
If the arguments are to be pasted to the \fI<command>\fR being invoked
by aa-exec then \-\- should be used to separate aa-exec arguments from the
command.
  aa-exec \-p profile1 \-\- ls \-l
.SH "OPTIONS \fBaa-exec\fP accepts the following arguments:"
.IX Header "OPTIONS aa-exec accepts the following arguments:"
.IP "\-p PROFILE, \-\-profile=PROFILE" 4
.IX Item "-p PROFILE, --profile=PROFILE"
confine \fI<command>\fR with PROFILE. If the PROFILE is not specified
use the current profile name (likely unconfined).
.IP "\-n NAMESPACE, \-\-namespace=NAMESPACE" 4
.IX Item "-n NAMESPACE, --namespace=NAMESPACE"
use profiles in NAMESPACE.  This will result in confinement transitioning
to using the new profile namespace.
.IP "\-i, \-\-immediate" 4
.IX Item "-i, --immediate"
transition to PROFILE before doing executing \fI<command>\fR.  This
subjects the running of \fI<command>\fR to the exec transition rules
of the current profile.
.IP "\-v, \-\-verbose" 4
.IX Item "-v, --verbose"
show commands being performed
.IP "\-d, \-\-debug" 4
.IX Item "-d, --debug"
show commands and error codes
.IP \-\- 4
Signal the end of options and disables further option processing. Any
arguments after the \-\- are treated as arguments of the command.  This is
useful when passing arguments to the \fI<command>\fR being invoked by
aa-exec.
