CHCAT(8) User Commands CHCAT(8)
chcat - change SELinux security categories of files/users
chcat category file... chcat -l category user... chcat [[+|-]category...] file... chcat -l [[+|-]category...] user... chcat [-d] file... chcat -l [-d] user... chcat -L [ -l ] [ user ... ]
Use +/- to add/remove categories from a file or user (only a single category can be specified at a time). Or specify the desired list/range of categories to be applied (replacing the existing categories). Note: When removing a category you must specify '--' on the command line before using the -Category syntax. This tells the command that you have finished entering options and are now specifying a category name instead. -d delete all categories from given FILE/USER. -L list available categories. -l Tells chcat to operate on users instead of files.
Replace categories of user "test" with c0.c6 # chcat -l c0.c6 test Add category c1023 to user "test" # chcat -l +c1023 test Remove category c5 from file "file" # chcat -- -c5 file Remove all categories from file "file" # chcat -d file
chcon(1), selinux(8), semanage(8) When operating on files this script wraps the chcon command.
