NAME
getsebool - get SELinux boolean value(s)SYNOPSIS
getsebool [-a] [boolean]DESCRIPTION
getsebool reports the current state of either a particular SELinux boolean or all SELinux booleans. The state consists of two values, the active value and the pending value. The active value indicates the value that is presently applied to the policy. The pending value indicates the value that will be applied upon the next boolean commit. Typically, these values will be the same; they only differ when in the middle of a boolean change transaction.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.
