NAME
restorecon - restore file(s) default SELinux security contexts.
SYNOPSIS
restorecon [-R] [-n] [-p] [-v] [-e directory] pathname...
restorecon -f infilename [-e directory] [-R] [-n] [-p] [-v] [-F]
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.
It can also be run at any other time to correct inconsistent labels, to add support for
newly-installed policy or, by using the -n option, to passively check whether the file
contexts are all set as specified by the active policy (default behavior).
If a file object does not have a context, restorecon will write the default context to the
file object's extended attributes. If a file object has a context, restorecon will only
modify the type portion of the security context. The -F option will force a replacement
of the entire context.
If a file is labeled with customizable SELinux type (for list of customizable types see
/etc/selinux/{SELINUXTYPE}/contexts/customizable_types), restorecon won't reset the label
unless the -F option is used.
It is the same executable as setfiles but operates in a slightly different manner depend-
ing on its argv[0].
OPTIONS
-e directory
exclude a directory (repeat the option to exclude more than one directory, Requires
full path).
-f infilename
infilename contains a list of files to be processed. Use - for stdin.
-F Force reset of context to match file_context for customizable files, and the
default file context, changing the user, role, range portion as well as the type.
-h, -? display usage information and exit.
-i ignore files that do not exist.
-n don't change any file labels (passive check). To display the files whose labels
would be changed, add -v.
-o outfilename
Deprecated, SELinux policy will probably block this access. Use shell redirection
to save list of files with incorrect context in filename.
-p show progress by printing * every 1024 files. (If you relabel the entire OS, this
will show you the percentage complete.)
-R, -r change files and directories file labels recursively (descend directories).
Note: restorecon reports warnings on paths without default labels only if called
non-recursively or in verbose mode.
-v show changes in file labels, if type or role are going to be changed. Multiple -v
options increase the verbosity. Note that the -v and -p options are mutually exclu-
sive.
-0 the separator for the input items is assumed to be the null character (instead of
the white space). The quotes and the backslash characters are also treated as nor-
mal characters that can form valid input. This option finally also disables 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 -print0 option of
GNU find produces input suitable for this mode.
ARGUMENTS
pathname... The pathname for the file(s) to be relabeled.
NOTE
restorecon does not follow symbolic links and by default it does not operate recursively
on directories.
