NAME
       findcon - SELinux file context search tool

SYNOPSIS
       findcon [OPTIONS] -c CONTEXT FILENAMES

DESCRIPTION
       This manual page describes the findcon command.

       findcon  allows  the  user  to search for files of a specified context.
       Results can be filtered by object class as described below.

       A context may be specified as a colon separated list of user, role, and
       type  as  follows - user_u:object_r:type_t. If your system supports MLS
       you can also add an additional MLS  range  to  the  end  as  follows  -
       user_u:object_r:type_t:s0.  The  tool  will automatically match a user,
       role, type, or range that is not specified, with any other user,  role,
       type,  or  range. If your system has MLS and the translation library is
       enabled matching is done using it. If you want the tool  to  match  raw
       contexts please use --raw option.

              if present.

       -o, --object=OBJECT

       -r, --recursive

       -s, --stdin
              Read FILENAMES from standard input.

       -q, --quiet
              Suppress progress output.

       -V, --verbose
