What are file contexts?

File contexts are used by the setfiles command to generate persistent labels which describe the security context for a file or directory. Fedora Core ships with the fixfiles script, which supports three options: check, restore, and relabel. This script allows users to relabel the file system without having the selinux-policy-targeted-sources package installed. The command line usage is more friendly than the standard setfiles command.
