findcon(1) General Commands Manual findcon(1)NAMEfindcon - SELinux file context search toolSYNOPSISfindcon FCLIST [OPTIONS] [EXPRESSION]DESCRIPTIONfindcon allows the user to search for files with a specified context. Results can be filtered by object class as described below.FCLISTThe findcon tool operates upon a file context list source. There are three valid file context lists. directory If FCLIST is a name of a directory then begin the search at that directory and recurse within it. Be sure there are no circular mounts within it. file_contexts If FCLIST is the name of a file_contexts file (e.g., /etc/selinux/strict/contexts/files/file_contexts) then open that file and find matching entries. database If FCLIST is the name of a database as created by a previous run of indexcon or apol then open the database and execute queries into it.EXPRESSIONThe following options allow the user to specify which files to print. A file must meet all specified criteria. If no expression is pro- vided, all files are printed. -t TYPE, --type=TYPE Search for files with a context containing the type TYPE. -u USER, --user=USER Search for files with a context containing the user USER. -r ROLE, --role=ROLE Search for files with a context containing the role ROLE. -m RANGE, --mls-range=RANGE Search for files with a context with the MLS range of RANGE. Note that findcon ignores the SELinux translation library, if present. In addition, this flag is ignored if the FCLIST has no MLS information. --context=CONTEXT Search for files matching this partial context. This flag overrides -t, -u, -r, and -m. -p PATH, --path=PATH Search for files which include PATH. -c CLASS, --class=CLASS Search only files of object class CLASS.OPTIONSThe following additional options are available. -R, --regex Search using regular expressions instead of exact string matching. This option does not affect the --class flag. -h, --help Print help information and exit. -V, --version Print version information and exit.PARTIAL CONTEXTThe --context flag specifies a partial context, which is a a colon separated list of user, role, and type. If the system supports MLS, the context may have a fourth field that gives the range. If a field is not specified or is the literal asterisk, then the query will always match the field.OBJECT CLASSESValid object class strings are block, char, dir, fifo, file, link, or sock.NOTEThe findcon utility always operates on "raw" SELinux file contexts. If the system has an installed translation library (i.e., libsetrans), those translations are ignored in favor of reading the original contexts from the filesystem (if FCFILE is a directory).EXAMPLESfindcon . Find every context in the current directory and all of its subdirectories. findcon -u user_u . Find every context whose user is user_u in the current directory and all subdirectories. findcon -u system_u -t bin_t file_contexts Find entries user system_u and type bin_t within a file_contexts file, assuming that file_contexts is a file contexts file. findcon --context=system_u::bin_t file_contexts This is equivalent to the previous example. findcon --context=system_u:*:bin_t:* file_contexts This is also equivalent to the above example.AUTHORThis manual page was written by Jeremy A.
