getsebool(8)                              SELinux Command Line documentation                             getsebool(8)



NAME
       getsebool - get SELinux boolean value(s)

SYNOPSIS
       getsebool [-a] [boolean]

DESCRIPTION
       getsebool  reports  where a particular SELinux boolean or all SELinux booleans are on or off In certain situa‐
       tions a boolean can be in one state with a pending change to the other state.  getsebool will report this as a
       pending change.  The pending value indicates the value that will be applied upon the next boolean commit.

       The  setting of boolean values occurs in two stages; first the pending value is changed, then the booleans are
       committed, causing their active values to become their pending values.  This allows a group of booleans to  be
       changed in a single transaction, by setting all of their pending values as desired and then committing once.

OPTIONS
       -a     Show all SELinux booleans.
