getsebool(8)          SELinux Command Line documentation          getsebool(8)

NAME
       getsebool - get SELinux boolean value(s)

SYNOPSIS
       getsebool [-a] [boolean]

DESCRIPTION
       getsebool  reports whether a particular SELinux boolean, or all SELinux
       booleans, are on or off.  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.

OPTIONS
       -a     Show all SELinux booleans.

EXAMPLE
       Show current state of httpd_can_connect_ftp
       # getsebool httpd_can_connect_ftp
