NAME
       getsebool - get SELinux boolean value(s)


SYNOPSIS
       getsebool [-a] [boolean]


DESCRIPTION
       getsebool  reports where a particular SELinux boolean or all SELinux booleans are on or off In certain situations a bool-
       ean 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.
