sepolicy-booleans(8)

💖 sepolicy-booleans — the girlies' guide to SELinux booleans 💖

okay bestie, welcome to sepolicy-booleans(8) 🎀 this is the page you pull up when you need the tea on your SELinux booleans, and honestly? it's giving helpful. let's get into it ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

sepolicy-booleans — query SELinux Policy to see the description of booleans 👑

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

sepolicy booleans [-h] [ -a | -b booleanname ... ]

lowkey the whole vibe is right there in one line. -a OR -b with names, and -h if you're lost 🦋

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

sepolicy booleans will show all the booleans and their descriptions, or you can pick individual booleans to display if you're feeling selective 💅

⚠️ okay important one, no cap: please make sure that selinux-policy-devel is present on your system, because that's the package that has the boolean descriptions extracted from the policy source code. without it, sepolicy booleans will only show descriptions generated based on the boolean names. so like, you'll still get output, but it's the budget version 😭

---

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -h, --help — display the help message, aka the "bestie I'm confused" button 🫶
• -a, --all — display all boolean descriptions. the full collection. the whole wardrobe 🔥
• -b, --boolean — boolean to get description. hand it a name (or several, she's flexible ✨)

---

🌈 EXAMPLE 🌈

list descriptions of samba_create_home_dirs and samba_enable_home_dirs booleans:

# sepolicy booleans -b samba_create_home_dirs samba_enable_home_dirs

see how we just stacked two names after -b? iconic behaviour fr fr 💖
