matchpathcon(8) SELinux Command Line documentation matchpathcon(8)
matchpathcon - get the default SELinux security context for the spec‐
ified path from the file contexts configuration
matchpathcon [-V] [-N] [-n] [-m type] [-f file_contexts_file] [-p
prefix] [-P policy_root_path] filepath...
matchpathcon queries the system policy and outputs the default
security context associated with the filepath.
Note: Identical paths can have different security contexts, depending
on the file type (regular file, directory, link file, char file ...).
matchpathcon will also take the file type into consideration in
determining the default security context if the file exists. If the
file does not exist, no file type matching will occur.
-m type
Force file type for the lookup. Valid types are file, dir,
pipe, chr_file, blk_file, lnk_file, sock_file.
-n Do not display path.
-N Do not use translations.
-f file_context_file
Use alternate file_context file
-p prefix
Use prefix to speed translations
-P policy_root_path
Use alternate policy root path
-V Verify file context on disk matches defaults
