smack rule vs manifest file

smack rule vs manifest file

BY 27 May 2014 General Support

Hi,

Having doubt on smack rule vs manifest file.

1) Smack rule will be created in the pattern of “subject, object and rule”

example: svc xorg rwxat

2) In manifest file,

<smack request="System" type="w" /> 
<smack request="Camera::statistics" type="rw" /> 

 

i) what is the difference between both smacks?

ii) where to use manifest smack request and where to use smack rule request?

iii) why two ways?

Please guide me.

Thanks
