NAME

       setfilecon, fsetfilecon, lsetfilecon - set SELinux security context of a file

SYNOPSIS

       #include <selinux/selinux.h>

       int setfilecon(const char *path, char *con);

       int setfilecon_raw(const char *path, char *con);

       int lsetfilecon(const char *path, char *con);

       int lsetfilecon_raw(const char *path, char *con);

       int fsetfilecon(int fd, char *con);

       int fsetfilecon_raw(int fd, char *con);

DESCRIPTION

       setfilecon() sets the security context of the file system object.

       lsetfilecon()  is  identical  to setfilecon, except in the case of a symbolic link, where the link itself
       has it's context set, not the file that it refers to.

       fsetfilecon() is identical to setfilecon, only the open file  pointed  to  by  filedes  (as  returned  by
       open(2)) has it's context set in place of path.

       setfilecon_raw(),   lsetfilecon_raw(),   and   fsetfilecon_raw()  behave  identically  to  their  non-raw
       counterparts but do not perform context translation.

RETURN VALUE

       On success, zero is returned. On failure, -1 is returned and errno is set appropriately.

ERRORS

       If there is insufficient space remaining to store the extended attribute, errno is set to either  ENOSPC,
       or EDQUOT if quota enforcement was the cause.

       If extended attributes are not supported by the filesystem, or are disabled, errno is set to ENOTSUP.

       The errors documented for the stat(2) system call are also applicable here.
