.SH "DESCRIPTION"
|
|
|
|
This manual page describes the
|
|
|
|
.BR setfiles
|
|
|
|
program.
|

|
|
|
This program is primarily used to initialize the security context
|
2012-08-22 07:13:43 +00:00
|
|
|
fields (extended attributes) on one or more filesystems (or parts of
|
|
|
|
them). Usually it is initially run as part of the SELinux installation
|
|
|
|
process (a step commonly known as labeling).

2012-08-22 07:13:43 +00:00
|
|
|
It can also be run at any other time to correct inconsistent labels, to add
|
|
|
|
support for newly-installed policy or, by using the \-n option, to passively
|
|
|
|
check whether the file contexts are all set as specified by the active policy
|
|
|
|
(default behavior) or by some other policy (see the \-c option).

|
|
|
|
If a file object does not have a context, setfiles will write the default
|
|
|
|
context to the file object's extended attributes. If a file object has a
|
|
|
|
context, setfiles will only modify the type portion of the security context.
|
|
|
|
The -F option will force a replacement of the entire context.

the separator for the input items is assumed to be the null character
|
|
|
|
(instead of the white space). The quotes and the backslash characters are
|
|
|
|
also treated as normal characters that can form valid input.
|
|
|
|
This option finally also disables the end of file string, which is treated
|
|
|
|
like any other argument. Useful when input items might contain white space,
|
|
|
|
quote marks or backslashes. The

|
|
|
.B -print0
|

option of GNU

.B find

.SH "ARGUMENTS"
|
|
|
|
.B spec_file
|
|
|
|
The specification file which contains lines of the following form
|
|
|
|
.br
|
|
|
|
.B regexp [ \-type ] ( context | <<none>> )
|
|
|
|
.br
|
|
|
|
The regular expression is anchored at both ends. The optional type field
|
|
|
|
specifies the file type as shown in the mode field by the
|
|
|
|
.B ls(1)
|
|
|
|
program, e.g. \-\- to match only regular files or \-d to match only
|
|
|
|
directories. The context can be an ordinary security context or the
|
|
|
|
string <<none>> to specify that the file is not to have its context
|
|
|
|
changed.
|
|
|
|
.br
|
|
|
|
The last matching specification is used. If there are multiple hard
|
|
|
|
links to a file that match different specifications and those
|
|
|
|
specifications indicate different security contexts, then a warning is
|
|
|
|
displayed but the file is still labeled based on the last matching
|
|
|
|
specification other than <<none>>.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
.B pathname...
|
2012-08-22 07:13:43 +00:00
|
|
|
The pathname for the root directory of each file system to be relabeled
|
|
|
|
or a specific directory within a filesystem that should be recursively
|
|
|
|
descended and relabeled or the pathname of a file that should be
|
|
|
|
relabeled.
|
2008-08-19 19:30:36 +00:00
|
|
|
Not used if the
|
2012-08-22 07:13:43 +00:00
|

|

|
2008-08-19 19:30:36 +00:00
|
|
|
.B \-s
|
|
|
|
option is used.
