@command{chcon} changes the SELinux security context of the selected files.

@end smallexample
Change the SELinux security context of each @var{file} to @var{context}.
With @option{--reference}, change the security context of each @var{file}
to that of @var{rfile}.
The program accepts the following options. Also see @ref{Common options}.
@table @samp
@item -h
@itemx --no-dereference
@opindex -h
@opindex --no-dereference
@cindex no dereference
Affect symbolic links instead of any referenced file.
@item --reference=@var{rfile}
@opindex --reference
@cindex reference file
Use @var{rfile}'s security context rather than specifying a @var{context} value.
@item -R

@opindex --recursive
Operate on files and directories recursively.

@end smallexample
Run @var{command} with completely-specified @var{context}, or with
current or transitioned security context modified by one or more of @var{level},
@var{role}, @var{type} and @var{user}.
If none of @option{-c}, @option{-t}, @option{-u}, @option{-r}, or @option{-l}
is specified, the first argument is used as the complete context.
Any additional arguments after @var{command}
are interpreted as arguments to the command.
With neither @var{context} nor @var{command}, print the current security context.
