l# sesearch -T -s qasd_t -c dir
Found 5 semantic te rules:
   type_member qasd_t user_home_dir_t : dir user_home_dir_t; 
   type_transition qasd_t user_home_dir_t : dir user_home_t; 
   type_transition qasd_t var_auth_t : dir qasd_var_auth_t; 
   type_transition qasd_t etc_t : dir qasd_conf_t; 
   type_transition qasd_t home_root_t : dir user_home_dir_t;
