Change the SELinux security context of each FILE to CONTEXT.
With --reference, change the security context of each FILE to
that of RFILE.
Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short
options too.
--dereference

default), rather than the symbolic link itself
-h, --no-dereference

-u, --user=USER

-r, --role=ROLE

-t, --type=TYPE

--no-preserve-root

--reference=RFILE

-R, --recursive

-v, --verbose

The following options modify how a hierarchy is traversed when
the -R option is also specified. If more than one is specified,
only the final one takes effect.
-H if a command line argument is a symbolic link to a
directory, traverse it
-L traverse every symbolic link to a directory encountered
-P do not traverse any symbolic links (default)
