✨ togglesebool(8) ✨

okay so bestie, you know how sometimes you just need to flip a switch and vibe check the whole system?? that's this. this is from the SELinux Command Line documentation, and it's literally the simplest little glow-up tool ever. 🦋

🌸 NAME 🌸

togglesebool — flip the current value of a SELinux boolean 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

togglesebool boolean...

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so here's the tea, bestie: togglesebool flips the current value of a list of booleans. that's it. that's the whole job. queen of minding her own business. 👑

the way it works is so simple it's giving main character energy: if the value is currently a 1, then it will be changed to a 0, and vice versa. it's a light switch. it's a coin flip. it's not that deep. 🔥

⚠️ but wait — important!! Only the "in memory" values are changed; the boot-time settings are unaffected. so if you're out here expecting this to survive a reboot, bestie... it will not. no cap. that's just how she is. 😭
