NAME
       runcon - run command with specified security context

SYNOPSIS
       runcon CONTEXT COMMAND [args]
       runcon [ -c ] [-u USER] [-r ROLE] [-t TYPE] [-l RANGE] COMMAND [args]

DESCRIPTION
       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 -c, -t, -u, -r, or -l, is specified, the first argument is used as the complete context.   Any  additional
       arguments after COMMAND are interpreted as arguments to the command.

       Only carefully-chosen contexts are likely to run successfully.

       Run  a program in a different SELinux security context.	With neither CONTEXT nor COMMAND, print the current security
       context.

       Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.

       CONTEXT
	      Complete security context

       -c, --compute
	      compute process transition context before modifying

       -t, --type=TYPE

       --help display this help and exit

       --version
	      output version information and exit

   Exit status:
       125    if the runcon command itself fails

       126    if COMMAND is found but cannot be invoked

       127    if COMMAND cannot be found

       -      the exit status of COMMAND otherwise
