✨ selinuxenabled(8) ✨

okay bestie, so this is a lil page from the SELinux Command Line documentation set 🎀 and honestly? it's the most no-nonsense, one-job-and-she-does-it icon in the whole toolbox 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

selinuxenabled — it's the tool you use inside shell scripts to figure out whether SELinux is enabled or not 🦋

💖 SYNOPSIS 💖

selinuxenabled

that's it. no flags. no arguments. she said zero options, maximum clarity ✨

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

It tells you whether SELinux is enabled or disabled. That's the whole vibe. It doesn't print anything, it doesn't lecture you, it just indicates the state and dips 💫

👑 EXIT STATUS 👑

okay this is the actual main character part, because in script-land your exit status is your entire personality:

• exits with status 0 if SELinux is enabled 🎉
• exits with status 1 if SELinux is not enabled 💀

bestie listen. it's 0 for yes, 1 for no. that's the classic shell "truthy" arrangement, so you can just slam it straight into an if and let it cook 🍓

⭐ SEE ALSO ⭐

• selinux(8)
• setenforce(8)
• getenforce(8)

like obviously go read getenforce(8) next if you want the actual answer printed at you instead of just an exit code 🙈

and that's the whole page, fr fr — no cap, it was written by dwalsh@redhat.com back on 7 April 2004, and it's still out here being selinuxenabled(8) in the SELinux Command Line documentation. iconic behavior only 👑💖✨
