NAME         top

       unsetfiles - Remove SELinux file security contexts.

SYNOPSIS         top

       unsetfiles [-hnrvx] pathname ...

DESCRIPTION         top

       This program removes the SELinux file security contexts of files.
       It can help cleaning extended file attributes after disabling
       SELinux.

       unsetfiles will only work on SELinux disabled systems, since
       removing file security contexts is not supported by SELinux.

OPTIONS         top

       -h     Show usage information and exit.

       -n     Do not actually remove any SELinux file security contexts.

       -r     Remove SELinux file security contexts recursive.

       -v     Be verbose about performed actions.

       -x     Do not cross filesystem boundaries.

ARGUMENTS         top

       pathname ...
              One or more path names to operate on.
