✨ runcon(1) — bestie edition ✨

okay so this is a page from the General Commands Manual, and the star of the show is runcon — the lil tool that runs a command with a security context you pick, on systems where SELinux is enabled. 🎀

---

🌸 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. That's the whole vibe, bestie. You tell it what context you want, it runs your command inside it. ✨

---

👑 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 — Print help. 🆘
• -V, --version — Print version. 🏆
• [ARG] — the argument slot, it's right there in the list, no cap. 🫶

---

🌈 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. That's the whole toolkit right there. ✨

If none of --compute, --type, --user, --role or --range is specified, then the first argument is used as the complete context. fr fr, arg number one becomes the whole context. 💫

Note that only carefully-chosen contexts are likely to successfully run. 😭 Like, the vibes have to actually match — a random context is not gonna slay.

If neither CONTEXT nor COMMAND is specified, the current security context is printed. 👀 So just running it with nothing gives you a little peek at where you're at. 🌸
