NAME
       setfilecon,  fsetfilecon, lsetfilecon - set SELinux security context of
       a file

SYNOPSIS
       #include <selinux/selinux.h>

       int setfilecon(const char *path, security_context_t con);

       int lsetfilecon(const char *path, security_context_t con);

       int fsetfilecon(int fd, security_context_t con);

DESCRIPTION
       setfilecon sets the security context of the file system object.

       lsetfilecon is identical to setfilecon, except in the case  of  a  sym‐
       bolic  link,  where  the link itself has it's context set, not the file
       that it refers to.

       fsetfilecon is identical to setfilecon, only the open file  pointed  to
       by  filedes  (as	 returned by open(2)) has it's context set in place of
       path.

RETURN VALUE
       On success, zero is returned. On failure, -1 is returned and  errno  is
       set appropriately.

       If  there  is  insufficient  space  remaining  to  store	 the  extended
       attribute, errno is set to either ENOSPC, or EDQUOT if  quota  enforce-
       ment was the cause.

       If extended attributes are not supported by the filesystem, or are dis-
       abled, errno is set to ENOTSUP.

       The errors documented for the stat(2) system call are  also  applicable
       here.
