# policy write
The `policy write` command uploads a policy with name NAME from the contents of
a local file PATH or stdin. If PATH is "-", the policy is read from stdin.
Otherwise, it is loaded from the file at the given path on the local disk.
For details on the policy syntax, please see the [policy
documentation](/vault/docs/concepts/policies).
## Examples
Upload a policy named "my-policy" from "/tmp/policy.hcl" on the local disk:
```shell-session
$ vault policy write my-policy /tmp/policy.hcl
```
Upload a policy from stdin:
```shell-session
$ cat my-policy.hcl | vault policy write my-policy -
```
## Usage
There are no flags beyond the [standard set of flags](/vault/docs/commands)
included on all commands.
