NAME         top

       semanage-boolean - SELinux Policy Management boolean tool

SYNOPSIS         top

       semanage boolean [-h] [-n] [-N] [-S STORE] [ --extract |
       --deleteall | --list [-C] | --modify ( --on | --off ) boolean ]

DESCRIPTION         top

       semanage is used to configure certain elements of SELinux policy
       without requiring modification to or recompilation from policy
       sources.  semanage boolean command controls the settings of
       booleans in SELinux policy. Booleans are if-then-else rules
       written in SELinux Policy. They can be used to customize the way
       that SELinux Policy rules effect a confined domain.
