The definition of the term "domain" in "Type Enforcement model" is
security context and attributes assigned to a process BUT not
necessarily in SELinux:
SELinux internally won't care about domain, it uses type for that matter.
Would you mind to correct me, if I'm wrong?
above document asserts:
QUOTE:
" ... Although the example TE configuration often uses the term domain
when referring to the type of a process,
the SELinux TE model does not internally distinguish domains from types."
UNQOUTE
