or

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.B restorecon_xattr
will display the SHA1 digests added to extended attributes
.I security.sehash
or delete the attribute completely. These attributes are set by
.BR restorecon (8)
or
.BR setfiles (8)
to specified directories when relabeling recursively.
.sp
.B restorecon_xattr
is useful for managing the extended attribute entries particularly when
users forget what directories they ran
.BR restorecon (8)
or
.BR setfiles (8)
from.
.sp
.B RAMFS
and
.B TMPFS
filesystems do not support the
.I security.sehash
extended attribute and are automatically excluded from searches.
.sp
By default
.B restorecon_xattr
will display the SHA1 digests with "Match" appended if they match the default
specfile set or the
.I specfile
set used with the
.B \-f
option. Non-matching SHA1 digests will be displayed with "No Match" appended.
This feature can be disabled by the
.B \-n
option.

.SH "OPTIONS"
.TP
.B \-d
delete all non-matching
.I security.sehash
directory digest entries.
.TP
.B \-D
delete all
.I security.sehash
directory digest entries.
.TP
.B \-m
do not read
.B /proc/mounts
to obtain a list of non-seclabel mounts to be excluded from relabeling checks.
.br
Setting
.B \-m
is useful where there is a non-seclabel fs mounted with a seclabel fs mounted
on a directory below this.
.TP
.B \-n
Do not append "Match" or "No Match" to displayed digests.
.TP
.B \-r
recursively descend directories.
.TP
.B \-v
display SHA1 digest generated by specfile set (Note that this digest is not
used to match the
.I security.sehash
directory digest entries, and is shown for reference only).
.TP
.B \-e
.I directory
.br
directory to exclude (repeat option for more than one directory).
.TP
.B \-f
.I specfile
.br
an optional
.I specfile
containing file context entries as described in
.BR file_contexts (5).
If the option is not specified, then the default file_contexts will be used.

.SH "ARGUMENTS"
.TP
.I pathname
.br
the pathname of the directory tree to be searched.
