restorecon_xattr(8)         SELinux User Command         restorecon_xattr(8)

NAME         top

       restorecon_xattr - manage security.restorecon_last extended attribute
       entries added by setfiles(8) or restorecon(8).

SYNOPSIS         top

       restorecon_xattr [-d] [-D] [-m] [-n] [-r] [-v] [-e directory] [-f
       specfile] pathname

DESCRIPTION         top

       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.

OPTIONS         top

       -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.

ARGUMENTS         top

       pathname
              the pathname of the directory tree to be searched.
