DESCRIPTION This manual page describes the restorecon program.

This program  is  primarily used to set the security context (extended attributes) on one or more files.

-n    don't change any file labels.

-o outfilename save list of files with incorrect context in outfilename.

-v    show changes in file labels.

-vv   show changes in file labels, if type, role, or user  are  chang- ing.

-F    Force  reset  of  context to match file_context for customizable files, or the user section, if it has changed.

ARGUMENTS pathname... The pathname for the file(s) to be relabeled.
