NAME

       matchpathcon - get the default SELinux security context for the specified path from the file contexts configuration.

SYNOPSIS

       matchpathcon [-V] [-N] [-n] [-f file_contexts_file ] [-p prefix ] filepath...

DESCRIPTION

       matchpathcon queries the system policy and outputs the default security context associated with the filepath.

       Note: Identical paths can have different security contexts, depending on the file type. (regular file, directory, link file, char file ...)

       matchpathcon  will  also take the file type into consideration in determining the default security context if the file exists.  If the file
       does not exist, no file type matching will occur.

OPTIONS

       -n Do not display path.

       -N Do not use translations.

       -f file_context_file Use alternate file_context file

       -p prefix Use prefix to speed translations

       -V Verify file context on disk matches defaults
