DESCRIPTION
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.
−−dereference
-
affect the referent of each symbolic link (this is the default), rather than the symbolic link itself
−h
,−−no−dereference
-
affect symbolic links instead of any referenced file
−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
−−no−preserve−root
-
do not treat _zsingle_quotesz_/_zsingle_quotesz_ specially (the default)
−−preserve−root
-
fail to operate recursively on _zsingle_quotesz_/_zsingle_quotesz_
−−reference
=RFILE/-
use RFILE_zsingle_quotesz_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
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
-

−P
