       -P, --prompt
              outputs data in a format suitable for a prompt

       -C, --color
              outputs data with the associated ANSI color codes (requires -P)

       -u, --user

       -s, --sensitivity
              show the sensitivity level of the security context

       -c, --clearance
              show the clearance level of the security context

       -m, --mls-range
              show the sensitivity level and clearance, as a range, of the security context

       -R, --raw
              outputs  the sensitivity level and clearance in an untranslated format.

       -f, --file
              gets the context from the specified file FILE

       -L, --link
              gets the context from the specified file FILE (doesn't follow symlinks)

       -p, --pid
              gets the context from the specified process PID

       --pid-exec
              gets the exec context from the specified process PID

       --pid-fs
              gets the fscreate context from the specified process PID

       --current, --self
              gets the context from the current process

       --current-exec, --self-exec
              gets the exec context from the current process

       --current-fs, --self-fs
              gets the fscreate context from the current process

       --parent
              gets the context from the parent of the current process

       --parent-exec
              gets the exec context from the parent of the current process

       --parent-fs
              gets the fscreate context from the parent of the current process

       Additional argument CONTEXT may be provided and will be  used  if  no  options  have  been
       specified  to  make secon get its context from another source.  If that argument is - then
       the context will be read from stdin.
       If there is no argument, secon will try reading a context from stdin, if  that  is  not  a
       tty, otherwise secon will act as though --self had been passed.

       If  none  of  --user,  --role, --type, --level or --mls-range is passed.  Then all of them
       will be output.
