DESCRIPTION

16       restorecon_xattr  will  display  the  SHA1  digests  added  to extended
17       attributes security.sehash or delete the  attribute  completely.  These
18       attributes  are set by restorecon(8) or setfiles(8) to specified direc‐
19       tories when relabeling recursively.
20
21       restorecon_xattr is useful for managing the extended attribute  entries
22       particularly  when users forget what directories they ran restorecon(8)
23       or setfiles(8) from.
24
25       RAMFS and TMPFS filesystems do not support the security.sehash extended
26       attribute and are automatically excluded from searches.
27
28       By  default restorecon_xattr will display the SHA1 digests with "Match"
29       appended if they match the default specfile set  or  the  specfile  set
30       used  with  the  -f option. Non-matching SHA1 digests will be displayed
31       with "No Match" appended.  This feature  can  be  disabled  by  the  -n
32       option.

OPTIONS

36       -d     delete   all   non-matching   security.sehash  directory  digest
37              entries.
38
39       -D     delete all security.sehash directory digest entries.
40
41       -m     do not read /proc/mounts to obtain a list of non-seclabel mounts
42              to be excluded from relabeling checks.
43              Setting  -m  is  useful where there is a non-seclabel fs mounted
44              with a seclabel fs mounted on a directory below this.
45
46       -n     Do not append "Match" or "No Match" to displayed digests.
47
48       -r     recursively descend directories.
49
50       -v     display SHA1 digest generated by specfile set  (Note  that  this
51              digest is not used to match the security.sehash directory digest
52              entries, and is shown for reference only).
53
54       -e     directory
55              directory to exclude (repeat option for  more  than  one  direc‐
56              tory).
57
58       -f     specfile
59              an   optional   specfile  containing  file  context  entries  as
60              described in file_contexts(5).  If the option is not  specified,
61              then the default file_contexts will be used.
