NAME
       fixfiles - fix file security contexts.


SYNOPSIS
       fixfiles	 [ -R rpmpackagename[,rpmpackagename...] ] [check | restore |
       [-F] relabel]


DESCRIPTION
       This manual page describes the fixfiles script.

       This script is primarily used to correct the security context database
       (extended attributes) on filesystems.

       It  can also be run at any time to relabel when adding support for new
       policy, or  just check whether  the  file  contexts  are	 all  as  you
       expect.	 By  default  it will relabel all mounted ext2, ext3, xfs and
       reiser file systems as long as they do not  have	 a  security  context
       mount option.  You can use the -R flag to use rpmpackages as an alter-
       native.


OPTIONS
       -F     Don't prompt for removal of /tmp directory.


       -R rpmpackagename[,rpmpackagename...]
	      Use the rpm database to discover all files within the specified
	      packages and restore the file contexts.  (-a will get all files
	      in the RPM database).


ARGUMENTS
       One of:

       check  show any incorrect file context labels but do not change	them.

       restore
	      change any incorrect file context labels.

       relabel
	      Prompt  for  removal  of	contents  of  /tmp directory and then
	      change any inccorect file context labels to match	 the  install
	      file_contexts file.
