       current, self
              gets the context from the current process

       current-exec, self-exec

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

       current-key, self-key
              gets the key 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

       parent-key
              gets the key 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 its context from  another
       source.   If  that  argument  is  -  then the context will be read from
       stdin.
       If there is no argument, 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.
