setsebool(8)                              SELinux Command Line documentation                             setsebool(8)



NAME
       setsebool - set SELinux boolean value


SYNOPSIS
       setsebool [ -PNV ] boolean value | bool1=val1 bool2=val2 ...


DESCRIPTION
       setsebool  sets  the current state of a particular SELinux boolean or a list of booleans to a given value. The
       value may be 1 or true or on to enable the boolean, or 0 or false or off to disable it.

       Without the -P option, only the current boolean value is affected; the  boot-time  default  settings  are  not
       changed.

       If  the -P option is given, all pending values are written to the policy file on disk. So they will be persis‐
       tent across reboots.

       If the -N option is given, the policy on disk is not reloaded into the kernel.

       If the -V option is given, verbose error messages will be printed from semanage libraries.
