DESCRIPTION

15       matchpathcon queries the system policy and outputs the default security
16       context associated with the filepath.
17
18       Note: Identical paths can have different security  contexts,  depending
19       on the file type. (regular file, directory, link file, char file ...)
20
21       matchpathcon  will also take the file type into consideration in deter‐
22       mining the default security context if the file exists.   If  the  file
23       does not exist, no file type matching will occur.
