mcstransd(8) mcs documentation mcstransd(8)NAMEmcstransd - MCS (Multiple Category System) daemon. Translates SELinux
MCS/MLS labels to human readable form.
SYNOPSISmcstransdDESCRIPTION
This manual page describes the mcstransd program.
This daemon reads /etc/selinux/{SELINUXTYPE}/setrans.conf and
/etc/selinux/{SELINUXTYPE}/secolors.conf configuration files, and com‐
municates with libselinux via a socket in /var/run/setrans. It also
watches for files created in /var/run/setrans and uses the contents of
these files to generate translations to the names. For example writing
a file /var/run/setrans/mydomain with content of s0:c1,c2 will cause
mcstrans to translate s0:c1,c2 to mydomain.
