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
security context of each FILE to CONTEXT. With
−−reference, change the security context
of each FILE to that of RFILE.
−h, −−no−dereference
affect symbolic links instead of any referenced file
−−reference=RFILE
use RFILE’s security context rather than specifying a CONTEXT value
−R, −−recursive
operate on files and directories recursively
−v, −−verbose
output a diagnostic for every file processed
−u, −−user=USER
set user USER in the target security context
−r, −−role=ROLE
set role ROLE in the target security context
−t, −−type=TYPE
set type TYPE in the target security context
−l, −−range=RANGE
set range RANGE in the target security context
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.
−H |
if a command line argument is a symbolic link to a directory, traverse it | ||
−L |
traverse every symbolic link to a directory encountered | ||
−P |
do not traverse any symbolic links (default) | ||
−−help |
display this help and exit |
−−version
output version information and exit
