65
66       --pid-fs
67              gets the fscreate context from the specified process PID
68
69       --pid-key
70              gets the key context from the specified process PID
71
72       --current, --self
73              gets the context from the current process
74
75       --current-exec, --self-exec
76              gets the exec context from the current process
77
78       --current-fs, --self-fs
79              gets the fscreate context from the current process
80
81       --current-key, --self-key
82              gets the key context from the current process
83
84       --parent
85              gets the context from the parent of the current process
86
87       --parent-exec
88              gets the exec context from the parent of the current process
89
90       --parent-fs
91              gets the fscreate context from the parent of the current process
92
93       --parent-key
94              gets the key context from the parent of the current process
95
96       Additional  argument  CONTEXT  may  be  provided and will be used if no
97       options have been specified to make secon get its context from  another
98       source.   If  that  argument  is  -  then the context will be read from
99       stdin.
100       If there is no argument, secon will try reading a context  from  stdin,
101       if  that  is  not  a tty, otherwise secon will act as though --self had
102       been passed.
103
104       If none of --user, --role, --type, --level or  --mls-range  is  passed.
105       Then all of them will be output.
