RUNCON(1)

NAME
runcon - run command with specified security context

SYNOPSIS
runcon CONTEXT COMMAND [args]
runcon [ -c ] [-u USER] [-r ROLE] [-t TYPE] [-l RANGE] COMMAND [args]

DESCRIPTION
Run COMMAND with completely-specified CONTEXT, or with current or transitioned security context modified by one or more of LEVEL, ROLE, TYPE, and USER.

If none of -c, -t, -u, -r, or -l, is specified, the first argument is used as the complete context. Any additional arguments after COMMAND are interpreted as arguments to the command.

Only carefully-chosen contexts are likely to run successfully.

Run a program in a different SELinux security context. With neither CONTEXT nor COMMAND, print the current security context.

Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.

-c, --compute

-r, --role=ROLE

--help
    display this help and exit

--version
    output version information and exit

  Exit status:

125 if the runcon command itself fails

126 if COMMAND is found but cannot be invoked

127 if COMMAND cannot be found

-   the exit status of COMMAND otherwise
