indexcon(1) General Commands Manual indexcon(1)
NAME
indexcon - SELinux file context indexing tool
SYNOPSIS
indexcon FILE [OPTIONS]
DESCRIPTION
indexcon allows the user to index the file contexts on a SELinux system, beginning with the root directory ( / ) and recursing into subdi-
rectories. The index will be written to FILE. The index can be searched using apol or findcon.
OPTIONS
-d DIR, --directory=DIR
Start scanning at directory DIR, and recurse through its subdirectories.
-h, --help
Print help information and exit.
-V, --version
Print version information and exit.
NOTE
The indexcon utility always operates on "raw" SELinux file contexts. If the system has an installed translation library (i.e., libse-
trans), those translations are ignored in favor of reading the original contexts from the filesystem.
