EXTRA
Run COMMAND with completely-specified CONTEXT, or with current or transitioned security context modified by one or more of LEVEL, ROLE, TYPE, and USER.
If none of --compute, --type, --user, --role or --range is specified, then the first argument is used as the complete context.
Note that only carefully-chosen contexts are likely to successfully run.
If neither CONTEXT nor COMMAND is specified, the current security context is printed.
