NAME
       chcon - change file SELinux security context
SYNOPSIS
       chcon [OPTION]... CONTEXT FILE...
       chcon [OPTION]... [-u USER] [-r ROLE] [-l RANGE] [-t TYPE] FILE...
       chcon [OPTION]... --reference=RFILE FILE...
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 '/' specially (the default)
       --preserve-root
              fail to operate recursively on '/'
       --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
       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
