## 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 con‐
       text 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.

       Note that only carefully-chosen contexts are likely to successfully run.

       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
