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

NAME         top

       getsebool - get SELinux boolean value(s)

SYNOPSIS         top

       getsebool [-a] [boolean]

DESCRIPTION         top

       getsebool reports whether a particular SELinux boolean, or all
       SELinux booleans, are on or off.  In certain situations 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         top

       -a     Show all SELinux booleans.

EXAMPLE         top

       Show current state of httpd_can_connect_ftp
       # getsebool httpd_can_connect_ftp
