Set SELinux file security contexts based on policy rules. Similar to restorecon but reads contexts from a file_contexts file.

Set file contexts according to the default policy file

sudo setfiles /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts path/to/directoryIdentify

Set file contexts recursively and show changes

sudo setfiles /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts path/to/directory --verboseIdentify

Preview what would be changed without actually modifying contexts

sudo setfiles /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts path/to/directory --nochangeIdentify

Set file contexts and verify them

sudo setfiles /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts path/to/directory --verbose --forceIdentify

Use a specific root path for context matching

sudo setfiles /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts path/to/new_directory --rootpath path/to/old_directoryIdentify
