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.
