RUNCON(1) User Commands 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 addi‐
tional arguments after COMMAND are interpreted as arguments to the command.
Note that only carefully-chosen contexts are likely to successfully run.
Run a program in a different SELinux security context. With neither CONTEXT nor COMMAND, print the current secu‐
rity context.
Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
CONTEXT
Complete security context
-c, --compute
compute process transition context before modifying
-t, --type=TYPE
type (for same role as parent)
-u, --user=USER
user identity
-r, --role=ROLE
role
-l, --range=RANGE
levelrange
--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
