.SH DESCRIPTION
Run COMMAND with completely-specified CONTEXT, or with current or
transitioned security context modified by one or more of LEVEL,
ROLE, TYPE, and USER.
.PP
If none of \fI-c\fR, \fI-t\fR, \fI-u\fR, \fI-r\fR, or \fI-l\fR, is specified,
the first argument is used as the complete context.  Any additional
arguments after \fICOMMAND\fR are interpreted as arguments to the
command.
.PP
Only carefully-chosen contexts are likely to run successfully.
.PP
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.
