NAME

chcat - change SELinux security categories of files/users

SYNOPSIS

chcat category file ...
chcat -l
category user ...
chcat
[[+|-]category...] file ...
chcat -l
[[+|-]category...] user ...
chcat
[ -d ] file ...
chcat -l
[ -d ] user ...
chcat
-L [ -l ] [ user ... ]

DESCRIPTION

Use +/- to add/remove categories from a file or user (only a single category can be specified at a time). Or specify the desired list/range of categories to be applied (replacing the existing categories).

Note: When removing a category you must specify ’--’ on the command line before using the -Category syntax. This tells the command that you have finished entering options and are now specifying a category name instead.

-d

delete all categories from given FILE/USER.

-L

list available categories.

-l

Tells chcat to operate on users instead of files.

EXAMPLE

Replace categories of user "test" with c0.c6
# chcat -l c0.c6 test
Add category c1023 to user "test"
# chcat -l +c1023 test
Remove category c5 from file "file"
# chcat -- -c5 file
Remove all categories from file "file"
# chcat -d file
