description
Change the
security context of each FILE to CONTEXT. With
--reference, change the security context
of each FILE to that of RFILE.
--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
--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
