restorecon_xattr(8) SELinux User Command restorecon_xattr(8)
NAME
restorecon_xattr - manage security.restorecon_last extended attribute
entries added by setfiles(8) or restorecon(8).
SYNOPSIS
restorecon_xattr [-d] [-D] [-m] [-n] [-r] [-v] [-e directory] [-f spec-
file] pathname
DESCRIPTION
restorecon_xattr will display the SHA1 digests added to extended
attributes security.restorecon_last or delete the attribute completely.
These attributes are set by restorecon(8) or setfiles(8) to specified
directories when relabeling recursively.
restorecon_xattr is useful for managing the extended attribute entries
particularly when users forget what directories they ran restorecon(8)
or setfiles(8) from.
RAMFS and TMPFS filesystems do not support the security.restorecon_last
extended attribute and are automatically excluded from searches.
By default restorecon_xattr will display the SHA1 digests with "Match"
appended if they match the default specfile set or the specfile set
used with the -f option. Non-matching SHA1 digests will be displayed
with "No Match" appended. This feature can be disabled by the -n
option.
OPTIONS
-d delete all non-matching security.restorecon_last directory
digest entries.
-D delete all security.restorecon_last directory digest entries.
-m do not read /proc/mounts to obtain a list of non-seclabel mounts
to be excluded from relabeling checks.
Setting -m is useful where there is a non-seclabel fs mounted
with a seclabel fs mounted on a directory below this.
-n Do not append "Match" or "No Match" to displayed digests.
-r recursively descend directories.
-v display SHA1 digest generated by specfile set.
-e directory
directory to exclude (repeat option for more than one direc-
tory).
-f specfile
an optional specfile containing file context entries as
described in file_contexts(5). This will be used by sela-
bel_open(3) to retrieve the set of labeling entries, with the
SHA1 digest being retrieved by selabel_digest(3). If the option
is not specified, then the default file_contexts will be used.
ARGUMENTS
pathname
the pathname of the directory tree to be searched.
