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, cur‐
rently 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 trans‐
action.
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.
