It is unfortunately rather lacking in documentation. libsepol was originally created by taking the core logic from checkpolicy and moving it into a library so that it could be re-used by other programs. Since that time, a number of the policy analysis tools have migrated to using libsepol as well, at least for processing the binary policy. -- Stephen Smalley National Security Agency -- This message was distributed to subscribers of the selinux mailing list.
