booleans(5)                           SELinux configuration                           booleans(5)



NAME
       booleans - The SELinux booleans configuration files

DESCRIPTION
       The booleans file, if present contains booleans to support a specific distribution.

       The booleans.local file, if present contains locally generated booleans.

       Both files contain a list of boolean names and their associated values.

       Generally  the booleans and/or booleans.local files are not present (they have been depre-
       cated). However if there is an SELinux-aware application that uses  the  libselinux  func-
       tions listed below, then these files may be present:

              security_set_boolean_list(3)
                     Writes a booleans.local file if flag permanent = 1.

              security_load_booleans(3)
                     Looks  for a booleans and/or booleans.local file at selinux_booleans_path(3)
                     unless a specific path is specified as a parameter.

       booleans(8) has details on booleans and setsebool(8) describes how booleans can now be set
       persistent across reboots.

       selinux_booleans_path(3)  will  return  the active policy path to these files. The default
       boolean files are:
              /etc/selinux/{SELINUXTYPE}/booleans
              /etc/selinux/{SELINUXTYPE}/booleans.local

       Where {SELINUXTYPE}  is  the  entry  from  the  selinux  configuration  file  config  (see
       selinux_config(5)).

FILE FORMAT
       Both  boolean  files  have the same format and contain one or more boolean names and their
       value.

       The format is:
              boolean_name value

       Where:
              boolean_name
                     The name of the boolean.
              value
                     The default setting for the boolean. This can be one of the following:
                            true | false | 1 | 0

       Note that if SETLOCALDEFS is set in the SELinux config file (see selinux_config(5)),  then
       selinux_mkload_policy(3)  will  check  for  a  booleans.local  file  in  the selinux_bool-
       eans_path(3)   and   also   a   local.users   file    (see    local.users(5))    in    the
       selinux_users_path(3).
