chcon — change file security context
chcon [OPTION...] CONTEXT FILE...
chcon [OPTION...] [ −u USER ] [ −r ROLE ] [ −l RANGE ] [ −t TYPE ] FILE...
chcon [OPTION...] −−reference=RFILE FILE...
Change the SELinux security context of each FILE to
CONTEXT. With −−reference, change the security
context of each FILE to that of RFILE.
Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
−−dereferenceaffect the referent of each symbolic link (this is the default), rather than the symbolic link itself
−h, −−no−dereferenceaffect symbolic links instead of any referenced file
−u, −−user=USERset user USER in the target security context
−r, −−role=ROLEset role ROLE in the target security context
−t, −−type=TYPEset type TYPE in the target security context
−l, −−range=RANGEset range RANGE in the target security context
−−no−preserve−rootdo not treat '/' specially (the default)
−−preserve−rootfail to operate recursively on '/'
−−reference=RFILEuse RFILE's security context rather than specifying a CONTEXT value
−R, −−recursiveoperate on files and directories recursively
−v, −−verboseoutput a diagnostic for every file processed
The following options modify how a hierarchy is traversed
when the −R option is also
specified. If more than one is specified, only the final one
takes effect.
−Hif a command line argument is a symbolic link to a directory, traverse it
−Ltraverse every symbolic link to a directory encountered
−Pdo not traverse any symbolic links (default)
−−helpdisplay this help and exit
−−versionoutput version information and exit
