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


If there is no argument,
 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.
