DESCRIPTION

27       The SELinux policy can include conditional rules that  are  enabled  or
28       disabled  based  on  the  current  values  of a set of policy booleans.
29       These policy booleans allow runtime modification of the security policy
30       without having to load a new policy.
31
32       The  SELinux  API allows for a transaction based update. So you can set
33       several boolean values and then commit them all at once.
34
35       security_get_boolean_names() provides a list  of  boolean  names,  cur‐
36       rently supported by the loaded policy.
37
38       security_get_boolean_pending() returns the pending value for boolean or
39       -1 on failure.
40
41       security_get_boolean_active() returns the active value for  boolean  or
42       -1 on failure.
43
44       security_set_boolean() sets the pending value for boolean
45
46       security_set_boolean_list() saves a list of booleans in a single trans‐
47       action. Note that the int permanent flag is deprecated  and  should  be
48       set to zero.
49
50       security_commit_booleans() commits all pending values for the booleans.

RETURN VALUE

53       Where  not  otherwise  stated,  functions described in this manual page
54       return zero on success or -1 on error.
