Re: Is there difference betweek sefiles and restorecon in terms of labels

[Guido Trentalancia <guido@trentalancia.com>]

In short, the label ultimately depends on the file context
specification, not the tool you use. Therefore as long as the file
context specification is the same, then I suppose both setfiles and
restorecon produce the same label on the file.
