DESCRIPTION
       This  utility  is used to generate file context configuration entries for user home
       directories based on their default roles and is run when building  the  policy.  It
       can  also  be run when ever the /etc/selinux/<<SELINUXTYPE>>/users/local.users file
       is changed Specifically, we replace HOME_ROOT, HOME_DIR, and  ROLE  macros  in  the
       /etc/selinux/<<SELINUXTYPE>>/contexts/files/homedir_template  file with generic and
       user-specific values.  local.users file. If a  user  has  more  than  one  role  in
       local.users, genhomedircon uses the first role in the list.

       If  a user is not listed in local.users, genhomedircon assumes that the user’s home
       dir will be found in one of the HOME_ROOTs.  When looking for these users, genhome-
       dircon  only  considers  real  users. "Real" users (as opposed to system users) are
       those whose UID is greater than or equal STARTING_UID (default 500) and whose login
       shell is not "/sbin/nologin", or "/bin/false".

       Users who are explicitly defined in local.users, are always "real" (including root,
       in the default configuration).
