RUNCON(1) User Commands RUNCON(1)
NAME
runcon - run command with specified security context
SYNOPSIS
runcon CONTEXT COMMAND [args]
runcon [ -c ] [-u USER] [-r ROLE] [-t TYPE] [-l RANGE] COMMAND [args]
DESCRIPTION
Run COMMAND with completely-specified CONTEXT, or with current or tran-
sitioned security context modified by one or more of LEVEL, ROLE, TYPE,
and USER.
If none of -c, -t, -u, -r, or -l, is specified, the first argument is
used as the complete context. Any additional arguments after COMMAND
are interpreted as arguments to the command.
Only carefully-chosen contexts are likely to run successfully.
Run a program in a different SELinux security context. With neither
CONTEXT nor COMMAND, print the current security context.
Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
