DESCRIPTION

Change/Remove the security category for each file or user.

Use +/- to add/remove categories from a file or user.

Note: When removing a category you must specify '--' on the command line before using the -Category syntax. This tells the command that you have finished entering options and are now specifying a category name instead.

-d delete the category from each FILE/USER.

-L list available categories.

-l Tells chcat to operate on users instead of files.
