RUNCON(1) User Commands RUNCON(1)
NAME
runcon - run command with specified SELinux 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
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.
Note that only carefully-chosen contexts are likely to success‐
fully run.
Run a program in a different SELinux security context. With nei‐
ther CONTEXT nor COMMAND, print the current security context.
Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short
options too.
