restorecon_xattr(8) SELinux User Command restorecon_xattr(8)
restorecon_xattr - manage security.restorecon_last extended attribute entries added by setfiles(8) or restorecon(8).
restorecon_xattr [-d] [-D] [-m] [-n] [-r] [-v] [-e directory] [-f specfile] pathname
restorecon_xattr will display the SHA1 digests added to extended attributes security.restorecon_last or delete the attribute completely. These attributes are set by restorecon(8) or setfiles(8) to specified directories when relabeling recursively. restorecon_xattr is useful for managing the extended attribute entries particularly when users forget what directories they ran restorecon(8) or setfiles(8) from. RAMFS and TMPFS filesystems do not support the security.restorecon_last extended attribute and are automatically excluded from searches. By default restorecon_xattr will display the SHA1 digests with "Match" appended if they match the default specfile set or the specfile set used with the -f option. Non-matching SHA1 digests will be displayed with "No Match" appended. This feature can be disabled by the -n option.
-d delete all non-matching security.restorecon_last directory digest entries. -D delete all security.restorecon_last directory digest entries. -m do not read /proc/mounts to obtain a list of non-seclabel mounts to be excluded from relabeling checks. Setting -m is useful where there is a non-seclabel fs mounted with a seclabel fs mounted on a directory below this. -n Do not append "Match" or "No Match" to displayed digests. -r recursively descend directories. -v display SHA1 digest generated by specfile set. -e directory directory to exclude (repeat option for more than one directory). -f specfile an optional specfile containing file context entries as described in file_contexts(5). This will be used by selabel_open(3) to retrieve the set of labeling entries, with the SHA1 digest being retrieved by selabel_digest(3). If the option is not specified, then the default file_contexts will be used.
pathname the pathname of the directory tree to be searched.
