       security context of each FILE to that of RFILE.

SYNOPSIS

       chcon [--dereference] [-h|--no-dereference] [--help] [--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

       --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.

       --help help

       --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]
