setfiles

Set SELinux file security contexts based on policy rules. Similar to restorecon but reads contexts from a file_contexts file. See also: restorecon, semanage-fcontext, fixfiles. More information: https://manned.org/setfiles.

• Set file contexts according to the default policy file:

sudo setfiles /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts {{path/to/directory}}

• Set file contexts recursively and show changes:

sudo setfiles /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts {{path/to/directory}} {{[-v|--verbose]}}

• Preview what would be changed without actually modifying contexts:

sudo setfiles /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts {{path/to/directory}} {{[-n|--nochange]}}

• Set file contexts and verify them:

sudo setfiles /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts {{path/to/directory}} {{[-v|--verbose]}} {{[-F|--force]}}

• Use a specific root path for context matching:

sudo setfiles /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts {{path/to/new_directory}} {{[-r|--rootpath]}} {{path/to/old_directory}}
