DESCRIPTION
Change the SELinux security context of each FILE to CONTEXT. With --reference, change the security context of each FILE to that of RFILE.

--preserve-root
    Fail to operate recursively on '/'.

    Set range RANGE in the target security context.

-R, --recursive
    Operate on files and directories recursively.

-H  If a command line argument is a symbolic link to a directory, traverse it. Only valid when -R is specified.

-L  Traverse every symbolic link to a directory encountered. Only valid when -R is specified.

-P  Do not traverse any symbolic links (default). Only valid when -R is specified.
