       -s, --sensitivity
	      show the sensitivity level of the security context

       -c, --clearance
	      show the clearance level of the security context

       -m, --mls-range
	      show the sensitivity level and clearance, as  a  range,  of  the
	      security context

       -R, --raw
	      outputs	the sensitivity level and clearance in an untranslated
	      format.

       -f, --file
	      gets the context from the specified file FILE

       -L, --link
	      gets the context from the specified file	FILE  (doesn't	follow
	      symlinks)

       -p, --pid
	      gets the context from the specified process PID

       --pid-exec
	      gets the exec context from the specified process PID

       --pid-fs
	      gets the fscreate context from the specified process PID

       --current, --self
	      gets the context from the current process

       --current-exec, --self-exec
	      gets the exec context from the current process

       --current-fs, --self-fs
	      gets the fscreate context from the current process

       --parent
	      gets the context from the parent of the current process

       --parent-exec
	      gets the exec context from the parent of the current process

       --parent-fs
	      gets the fscreate context from the parent of the current process

       Additional  argument  CONTEXT  may  be  provided and will be used if no
       options have been specified to make secon get it's context from another
       source.	 If  that  argument  is	 -  then the context will be read from
       stdin.
       If there is no arugment, secon will try reading a context  from	stdin,
       if  that	 is  not  a tty, otherwise secon will act as though --self had
       been passed.

       If none of --user, --role, --type, --level or  --mls-range  is  passed.
       Then all of them will be output.
