# rust-runcon(1)

Run command with specified security context under SELinux enabled systems.

## NAME

runcon - Run command with specified security context under SELinux enabled systems.

## SYNOPSIS

**runcon** \[**-c**\|**--compute**\] \[**-u**\|**--user**\] \[**-r**\|**--role**\] \[**-t**\|**--type**\] \[**-l**\|**--range**\] \[**-h**\|**--help**\] \[**-V**\|**--version**\] \[*ARG*\]

## DESCRIPTION

Run command with specified security context under SELinux enabled systems.

## OPTIONS

- **-c**, **--compute**

  Compute process transition context before modifying.

- **-u**, **--user**=*USER*

  Set user USER in the target security context.

- **-r**, **--role**=*ROLE*

  Set role ROLE in the target security context.

- **-t**, **--type**=*TYPE*

  Set type TYPE in the target security context.

- **-l**, **--range**=*RANGE*

  Set range RANGE in the target security context.

- **-h**, **--help**

- **-V**, **--version**

- \[*ARG*\]

  ## EXTRA

Run COMMAND with completely-specified CONTEXT, or with current or transitioned security context modified by one or more of LEVEL, ROLE, TYPE, and USER.

If none of --compute, --type, --user, --role or --range is specified, then the first argument is used as the complete context.

Note that only carefully-chosen contexts are likely to successfully run.

If neither CONTEXT nor COMMAND is specified, the current security context is printed.
