NOTES

Tag	Description
--	The -- flag indicates that runcon should stop processing command line arguments. Further arguments will be passed to COMMAND.

If none of -c, -t, -u, -r, or -l, is specified, the first argument is used as the complete context. Any additional arguments after COMMAND are interpreted as arguments to the command.

Note that only carefully-chosen contexts are likely to successfully run.
