NAME

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION
       This manual page describes the restorecon program.

       This  program  is  primarily used to set the security context (extended
       attributes) on one or more files.

       It can be run at any time to correct errors, to  add  support  for  new
       policy,  or  with the -n option it can just check whether the file con-
       texts are all as you expect.

OPTIONS
       -i     ignore files that do not exist

       -f infilename
              infilename contains a list of files to be processed by  applica-
              tion. Use - for stdin.

       -e directory
              directory  to  exclude  (repeat  option for more than one direc-
              tory.)

       -R -r  change files and directories file labels recursively

       -n     don't change any file labels.

       -o outfilename
              save list of files with incorrect context in outfilename.

       -p     show progress by printing * every 1000 files.

       -v     show changes in file labels.

       -vv    show changes in file labels, if type, role, or user  are  chang-
              ing.

       -F     Force  reset  of  context to match file_context for customizable
              files, or the user section, if it has changed.

       ARGUMENTS
              pathname...  The pathname for the file(s) to be relabeled.
