Additional argument CONTEXT may be provided and will be used if no options have been specified to make secon get it’s context from another source. If that argument is - then the context will be read from stdin.
If there is no arugment, 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.
