semanage fcontext -a adds entries to the local file contexts
configuration. It doesn't directly relabel any files. Then, after
you've run semanage fcontext -a to add the entry, you can run restorecon
or other relabeling programs to actually relabel the files to the
context you've specified in the entry.
OK, I understand.
So, I have to relabel by restorecon after I semanage fcontext -a path, right ?
I already re-written my program (segatex) to restorecon after semanage fcontext -a -m.
Thank you very much.

Yes, the relabeling programs (setfiles, restorecon, fixfiles) all
consult the file contexts configuration, and semanage fcontext -a is how
you add local entries to that configuration. The other way to add
entries is by inserting a loadable policy module with its own .fc file.
