NAME
setfiles - set file SELinux security contexts.
SYNOPSIS
setfiles [-c policy ] [-d] [-l] [-n] [-e directory ] [-o filename ] [-q] [-s] [-v] [-vv]
[-W] [-F] spec_file pathname...
DESCRIPTION
This manual page describes the setfiles program.
This program is primarily used to initialise the security context database (extended
attributes) on one or more filesystems. This program is initially run as part of the SE
Linux installation process.
It can also be run at any time to correct errors, to add support for new policy, or with
the -n option it can just check whether the file contexts are all as you expect.
OPTIONS
-c check the validity of the contexts against the specified binary policy.
-d show what specification matched each file.
-l log changes in file labels to syslog.
-n don't change any file labels.
-q suppress non-error output.
-r rootpath
use an alternate root path
-e directory
directory to exclude (repeat option for more than one directory.)
-F Force reset of context to match file_context for customizable files
-o filename
save list of files with incorrect context in filename.
-s take a list of files from standard input instead of using a pathname on the command
line.
-v show changes in file labels, if type or role are changing.
-vv show changes in file labels, if type, role, or user are changing.
-W display warnings about entries that had no matching files.
-0 Input items are terminated by a null character instead of by whitespace, and the
quotes and backslash are not special (every character is taken literally). Dis-
ables the end of file string, which is treated like any other argument. Useful
when input items might contain white space, quote marks, or backslashes.The GNU
find -print0 option produces input suitable for this mode.
ARGUMENTS
spec_file The specification file which contains lines of the following form
regexp [ -type ] ( context | <<none>> )
The regular expression is anchored at both ends. The optional type field specifies the
file type as shown in the mode field by the ls(1) program, e.g. -- to match only regular
files or -d to match only directories. The context can be an ordinary security context or
the string <<none>> to specify that the file is not to have its context changed.
The last matching specification is used. If there are multiple hard links to a file that
match different specifications and those specifications indicate different security con-
texts, then a warning is displayed but the file is still labeled based on the last match-
ing specification other than <<none>>.
pathname...
The pathname for the root directory of each file system to be relabeled. Not used
if the -s option is used.
