DESCRIPTION

16       This manual page describes the sestatus program.
17
18       This  tool  is  used  to get the status of a system running SELinux. It
19       displays data about whether SELinux is enabled or disabled, location of
20       key  directories, and the loaded policy with its status as shown in the
21       example:
22              > sestatus
23              SELinux status:              enabled
24              SELinuxfs mount:             /selinux
25              SELinux root directory:      /etc/selinux
26              Loaded policy name:          targeted
27              Current mode:                permissive
28              Mode from config file:       enforcing
29              Policy MLS status:           enabled
30              Policy deny_unknown status:  allow
31              Memory protection checking:  actual (secure)
32              Max kernel policy version:   26
33
34       sestatus can also be used to display:
35
36              -   The security context of files and processes  listed  in  the
37                  /etc/sestatus.conf   file.   The  format  of  this  file  is
38                  described in sestatus.conf(5).
39
40              -   The status of booleans.

46              /etc/sestatus.conf  file.  It  also checks whether the file is a
47              symbolic link, if so then the context of the target file is also
48              shown.

51                     The current process context
52                     The init process context
53                     The controlling terminal file context
