getsebool \- get SELinux boolean value(s) 

.SH "SYNOPSIS"

.B getsebool

.I "[-a] [boolean]"

.SH "DESCRIPTION"

.B getsebool 

reports where a particular SELinux boolean or

all SELinux booleans are active or inactive.  

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.
