DESCRIPTION

18       Use  +/-  to  add/remove  categories from a file or user (only a single
19       category can be specified at a time). Or specify the desired list/range
20       of categories to be applied (replacing the existing categories).
21
22       Note:  When  removing  a  category you must specify '--' on the command
23       line before using the -Category syntax. This tells the command that you
24       have  finished  entering options and are now specifying a category name
25       instead.
26
27
28       -d     delete all categories from given FILE/USER.
29
30       -L     list available categories.
31
32       -l     Tells chcat to operate on users instead of files.

39       # chcat -l +c1023 test
40       Remove category c5 from file "file"
41       # chcat -- -c5 file
