# Magisk Tools
Magisk comes with a huge collections of tools for installation, daemons, and utilities for developers. This documentation covers the 3 binaries and all included applets. The binaries and applets are shown below:

Note: The Magisk zip you download only contains `magiskboot`, `magiskinit`, and `magiskinit64`. The binary `magisk` is compressed and embedded into `magiskinit(64)`. Push `magiskinit(64)` to your device and run `./magiskinit(64) -x magisk <path>` to extract `magisk` out of the binary.
### magiskboot
A tool to unpack / repack boot images, parse / patch / extract cpio, patch dtb, hex patch binaries, and compress / decompress files with multiple algorithms.
`magiskboot` natively supports (which means it does not rely on external tools) common compression formats including `gzip`, `lz4`, `lz4_legacy` ([only used on LG](https://events.static.linuxfound.org/sites/events/files/lcjpcojp13_klee.pdf)), `lzma`, `xz`, and `bzip2`.
@ -22,7 +24,7 @@ A tool to unpack / repack boot images, parse / patch / extract cpio, patch dtb,
The concept of `magiskboot` is to make boot image modification simpler. For unpacking, it parses the header and extracts all sections in the image, decompressing on-the-fly if compression is detected in any sections. For repacking, the original boot image is required so the original headers can be used, changing only the necessary entries such as section sizes and checksum. All sections will be compressed back to the original format if required. The tool also supports many CPIO and DTB operations.

### magiskinit
This binary will replace `init` in the ramdisk of a Magisk patched boot image. It is originally created for supporting devices using system-as-root, but the tool is extended to support all devices and became a crucial part of Magisk. More details can be found in the **Pre-Init** section in [Magisk Booting Process](details.md#magisk-booting-process).
### magiskpolicy
(This tool is aliased to `supolicy` for compatibility with SuperSU's sepolicy tool)
An applet of `magiskinit`. This tool could be used for advanced developers to modify SELinux policies. In common scenarios like Linux server admins, they would directly modify the SELinux policy sources (`*.te`) and recompile the `sepolicy` binary, but here on Android we directly patch the binary file (or runtime policies).

All processes spawned from the Magisk daemon, including root shells and all its forks, are running in the context `u:r:magisk:s0`. The rule used on all Magisk installed systems can be viewed as stock `sepolicy` with these patches: `magiskpolicy --magisk 'allow magisk * * *'`.

this means each policy statement should be enclosed in quotes.
