       -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

       --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.
