SYNOPSIS

       chcon      [--help]      [--dereference]      [-h|--no-dereference]      [--preserve-root]
       [--no-preserve-root]   [--reference]   [-u|--user]  [-r|--role]  [-t|--type]  [-l|--range]
       [-R|--recursive] [-H ] [-L ] [-P ] [-v|--verbose] [-V|--version] [FILE]

DESCRIPTION

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

OPTIONS

       --help Print help information.

       --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.

       --preserve-root
              Fail to operate recursively on '/'.

       --no-preserve-root
              Do not treat '/' specially (the default).

       --reference=RFILE
              Use security context of RFILE, rather than specifying a CONTEXT value.

       -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.

       -R, --recursive
              Operate on files and directories recursively.

       -H     If a command line argument is a symbolic link to a  directory,  traverse  it.  Only
              valid when -R is specified.

       -L     Traverse  every  symbolic  link  to  a directory encountered. Only valid when -R is
              specified.

       -P     Do not traverse any symbolic links (default). Only valid when -R is specified.

       -v, --verbose
              Output a diagnostic for every file processed.

       -V, --version
              Print version

       [FILE]
