RUNCON(1) User Commands RUNCON(1)
runcon - run command with specified security context
runcon [CONTEXT COMMAND [ARG]...]
runcon [-c] [-u USER] [-r ROLE] [-t TYPE] [-l RANGE] COMMAND
[ARG]...
Run COMMAND with completely-specified CONTEXT, or with current or
transitioned 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.
