SETFMAC(8)

✨ NAME ✨

setfmac — set MAC label for a file system object

Okay bestie, welcome to SETFMAC(8) from the System Manager's Manual 💅 This is the utility that assigns MAC labels, and she is very much here to do exactly that.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

setfmac [-hqR] label file ...

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

The setfmac utility assigns the specified MAC label to the specified files. That’s the whole vibe: you give it a label, you give it one or more file ... arguments, and it does the label-assigning thing. No cap. 🎀

The following options are available:

• -R — Set the labels on the file hierarchies rooted in the files instead of just the files themselves. So it’s not just the file, it’s the file hierarchies rooted in those files, bestie 🌈
• -h — If the file is a symbolic link, change the label of the link rather than the file that the link points to. Link label, not target label — iykyk 🔗
• -q — Do not print non-fatal warnings during execution. Quiet mode: non-fatal warnings stay unspoken 💅
