DESCRIPTION
This manual page describes the restorecon program.

This  program  is  primarily used to set the security context (extended
attributes) on one or more files.

It can be run at any time to correct errors, to  add  support  for  new
policy,  or  with the -n option it can just check whether the file con-
texts are all as you expect.

tion. Use - for stdin.

-n     don't change any file labels.

-o outfilename

-F     Force  reset  of  context to match file_context for customizable
files, or the user section, if it has changed.
