DESCRIPTION

14       Change  the  SELinux  security  context  of each FILE to CONTEXT.  With
15       --reference, change the security context of each FILE to that of RFILE.
16
17       -h, --no-dereference
18              affect symbolic links instead of any referenced file
19
20       --reference=RFILE
21              use RFILE's security context rather than  specifying  a  CONTEXT
22              value
23
24       -R, --recursive
25              operate on files and directories recursively
26
27       -v, --verbose
28              output a diagnostic for every file processed
29
30       -u, --user=USER
31              set user USER in the target security context
32
33       -r, --role=ROLE
34              set role ROLE in the target security context
35
36       -t, --type=TYPE
37              set type TYPE in the target security context
38
39       -l, --range=RANGE
40              set range RANGE in the target security context
41
42       The  following  options modify how a hierarchy is traversed when the -R
43       option is also specified.  If more than  one  is  specified,  only  the
44       final one takes effect.
45
46       -H     if  a  command  line argument is a symbolic link to a directory,
47              traverse it
48
49       -L     traverse every symbolic link to a directory encountered
50
51       -P     do not traverse any symbolic links (default)
52
53       --help display this help and exit
54
55       --version
56              output version information and exit
