In /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts, some lines will have just two parts, with the context as the second part, but some will have three parts where the second part is --, -d, etc. What do these mean? I've looked through the documentation I can find but as far as I can tell none of them mention it.

The -d means to match only directories, the -- means to match only files.

Ah, so
-lmeans only symbolic links,-bmeans only block devices and-cmeans only character devices. Got it. Mar 26, 2018 at 9:57
