matchpathcon(8)       SELinux Command Line documentation       matchpathcon(8)
NAME
       matchpathcon  - get the default SELinux security context for the speci-
       fied path from the file contexts configuration
SYNOPSIS
       matchpathcon [-V] [-N] [-n] [-m type] [-f file_contexts_file] [-p  pre-
       fix] [-P policy_root_path] filepath...
DESCRIPTION
       matchpathcon queries the system policy and outputs the default security
       context associated with the filepath.
       Note: Identical paths can have different security  contexts,  depending
       on the file type (regular file, directory, link file, char file ...).
       matchpathcon  will also take the file type into consideration in deter-
       mining the default security context if the file exists.   If  the  file
       does not exist, no file type matching will occur.
OPTIONS
       -m type
              Force  file  type  for  the  lookup.  Valid types are file, dir,
              pipe, chr_file, blk_file, lnk_file, sock_file.
       -n     Do not display path.
       -N     Do not use translations.
       -f file_context_file
              Use alternate file_context file
       -p prefix
              Use prefix to speed translations
       -P policy_root_path
              Use alternate policy root path
       -V     Verify file context on disk matches defaults
