22.2 'runcon': Run a command in specified SELinux context
=========================================================
'runcon' runs file in specified SELinux security context.
Synopses:
runcon CONTEXT COMMAND [ARGS]
runcon [ -c ] [-u USER] [-r ROLE] [-t TYPE] [-l RANGE] COMMAND [ARGS]
Run COMMAND with completely-specified CONTEXT, or with current or
transitioned security context modified by one or more of LEVEL, ROLE,
TYPE and USER.
If none of '-c', '-t', '-u', '-r', or '-l' is specified, the first
argument is used as the complete context. Any additional arguments
after COMMAND are interpreted as arguments to the command.
With neither CONTEXT nor COMMAND, print the current security context.
The program accepts the following options. Also see *note Common

'-t TYPE'

'-l RANGE'
'--range=RANGE'
