NAME

       security_load_booleans, security_set_boolean, security_commit_booleans,
       security_get_boolean_names,                security_get_boolean_active,
       security_get_boolean_pending   -   routines  for  manipulating  SELinux
       boolean values

SYNOPSIS

       #include <selinux/selinux.h>

       int security_load_booleans(char *path);

       int security_get_boolean_names(char ***names, int *len);

       int security_get_boolean_pending(const char *name);

       int security_get_boolean_active(const char *name);

       int security_set_boolean(const char *name, int value);

       int security_set_boolean_list(size_t boolcnt, SELboolean *boollist, int
       permanent);

       int security_commit_booleans(void);

DESCRIPTION

       The  SELinux  policy  can include conditional rules that are enabled or
       disabled based on the current values  of  a  set  of  policy  booleans.
       These policy booleans allow runtime modification of the security policy
       without having to load a new policy.

       The SELinux API allows for a transaction based update. So you  can  set
       several boolean values and then commit them all at once.

       security_load_booleans

       loads  policy  boolean  settings.  Path  may be NULL, in which case the
       booleans are loaded from the active policy boolean configuration  file.

       security_get_boolean_names

       provides  a  list  of  boolean names, currently supported by the loaded
       policy.

       security_get_boolean_pending

       returns the pending value for boolean or -1 on failure.

       security_get_boolean_active

       returns the active value for boolean or -1 on failure.

       security_set_boolean

       sets the pending value for boolean

       security_set_boolean_list

       saves a list of booleans in a single transaction.

       security_commit_booleans

       commits all pending values for the booleans.

RETURN VALUE

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