NAME

       semanage fcontext- SELinux Policy Management file context tool

SYNOPSIS

       semanage  fcontext [-h] [-n] [-N] [-s STORE] [ --add ( -t TYPE -f FTYPE -r RANGE -s SEUSER | -e EQUAL ) FILE_SPEC ) | --delete ( -t TYPE -f
       FTYPE | -e EQUAL ) FILE_SPEC ) | --deleteall | --extract | --list [-C] | --modify ( -t TYPE -f FTYPE -r	RANGE  -s  SEUSER  |  -e  EQUAL  )
       FILE_SPEC ) ]

DESCRIPTION

       semanage  is  used  to configure certain elements of SELinux policy without requiring modification to or recompilation from policy sources.
       semanage fcontext is used to  manage the default file system labeling on an SELinux system.  This command maps  file  paths  using  regular
       expressions to SELinux labels.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
	      show this help message and exit

       -n, --noheading
	      Do not print heading when listing the specified object type

       -N, --noreload
	      Do not reload policy after commit

       -C, --locallist
	      List local customizations

       -S STORE, --store STORE
	      Select an alternate SELinux Policy Store to manage

       -a, --add
	      Add a record of the specified object type

       -d, --delete
	      Delete a record of the specified object type

       -m, --modify
	      Modify a record of the specified object type

       -l, --list
	      List records of the specified object type

       -E, --extract
	      Extract customizable commands, for use within a transaction

       -D, --deleteall
	      Remove all local customizations

       -e EQUAL, --equal EQUAL
	      Substitute  target  path	with sourcepath when generating default label. This is used with fcontext. Requires source and target path
	      arguments. The context labeling for the target subtree is made equivalent to that defined for the source.

       -f [{a,f,d,c,b,s,l,p}], --ftype [{a,f,d,c,b,s,l,p}]
	      File Type. This is used with fcontext. Requires a file type as shown in the mode field by ls, e.g. use 'd' to match only directories
	      or  'f'  to  match  only	regular  files. The following file type options can be passed: f (regular file),d (directory),c (character
	      device), b (block device),s (socket),l (symbolic link),p (named pipe).  If you do not specify  a	file  type,  the  file	type  will
	      default to "all files".

       -s SEUSER, --seuser SEUSER
	      SELinux user name

       -t TYPE, --type TYPE
	      SELinux Type for the object

       -r RANGE, --range RANGE
	      MLS/MCS  Security  Range	(MLS/MCS  Systems only) SELinux Range for SELinux login mapping defaults to the SELinux user record range.
	      SELinux Range for SELinux user defaults to s0.

EXAMPLE

       remember to run restorecon after you set the file context
       Add file-context for everything under /web
       # semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_sys_content_t "/web(/.*)?"
       # restorecon -R -v /web

       Substitute /home1 with /home when setting file context
       # semanage fcontext -a -e /home /home1
       # restorecon -R -v /home1

       For home directories under top level directory, for example /disk6/home,
       execute the following commands.
       # semanage fcontext -a -t home_root_t "/disk6"
       # semanage fcontext -a -e /home /disk6/home
       # restorecon -R -v /disk6
