Description Eli Barzilay 2016-11-27 23:32:01 UTC

Description of problem:
  Multiple problems with the `semanage fcontext` command line and its
  documentation.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
  Fedora 25

The problems are:

1. Running `semanage fcontext` without any flags or arguments spits out
   a short description of the expected command line.  This description
   is completely broken, with various redundant ")"s.

2. The same broken specification appears in its man page
   (semanage-fcontext(8)).

3. According to this man page and the output of `semanage fcontext -h`,
   listing the local fcontext rules is supposed to be achieved using
   "-C, --locallist", neither of these work.

4. Following the broken command line in item #1 above, I finally found
   that the correct incantation is "semanage fcontext --list -C"
