NAME         top

       secolor.conf - The SELinux color configuration file

DESCRIPTION         top

       This optional file controls the color to be associated to the
       context components associated to the raw context passed by
       selinux_raw_context_to_color(3), when context related information
       is to be displayed in color by an SELinux-aware application.

       selinux_raw_context_to_color(3) obtains this color information
       from the active policy secolor.conf file as returned by
       selinux_colors_path(3).

FILE FORMAT         top

       The file format is as follows:
              color color_name = #color_mask
              [...]

              context_component string = fg_color_name bg_color_name
              [...]

       Where:
       color
              The color keyword. Each color entry is on a new line.
       color_name
              A single word name for the color (e.g. red).
       color_mask
              A color mask starting with a hash (#) that describes the
              hexadecimal RGB colors with black being #000000 and white
              being #ffffff.
       context_component
              The context component name that must be one of the
              following:
                     user, role, type or range
              Each context_component string ...  entry is on a new line.
       string
              This is the context_component string that will be matched
              with the raw context component passed by
              selinux_raw_context_to_color(3).
              A wildcard '*' may be used to match any undefined string
              for the user, role and type context_component entries
              only.

       fg_color_name
              The color_name string that will be used as the foreground
              color.  A color_mask may also be used.
       bg_color_name
              The color_name string that will be used as the background
              color.  A color_mask may also be used.

EXAMPLES         top

       Example 1 entries are:
              color black  = #000000
              color green  = #008000
              color yellow = #ffff00
              color blue   = #0000ff
              color white  = #ffffff
              color red    = #ff0000
              color orange = #ffa500
              color tan    = #D2B48C

              user * = black white
              role * = white black
              type * = tan orange
              range s0-s0:c0.c1023 = black green
              range s1-s1:c0.c1023 = white green
              range s3-s3:c0.c1023 = black tan
              range s5-s5:c0.c1023 = white blue
              range s7-s7:c0.c1023 = black red
              range s9-s9:c0.c1023 = black orange
              range s15-s15:c0.c1023   = black yellow

       Example 2 entries are:
              color black  = #000000
              color green  = #008000
              color yellow = #ffff00
              color blue   = #0000ff
              color white  = #ffffff
              color red    = #ff0000
              color orange = #ffa500
              color tan    = #d2b48c

              user unconfined_u = #ff0000 green
              role unconfined_r = red #ffffff
              type unconfined_t = red orange
              user user_u       = black green
              role user_r       = white black
              type user_t       = tan red
              user xguest_u     = black yellow
              role xguest_r     = black red
              type xguest_t     = black green
              user sysadm_u     = white black
              range s0-s0:c0.c1023 = black white
              user *            = black white
              role *            = black white
              type *            = black white
