NAME
       sestatus - SELinux status tool

SYNOPSIS
       sestatus [-v] [-b]

       This tool is used to get the status of a system running SELinux.

DESCRIPTION
       This manual page describes the sestatus program.

       This tool is used to get the status of a system running SELinux. It displays data about whether SELinux is enabled or disabled, location of
       key directories, and the loaded policy with its status as shown in the example:
	      > sestatus
	      SELinux status:		   enabled
	      SELinuxfs mount:		   /selinux
	      SELinux root directory:	   /etc/selinux
	      Loaded policy name:	   targeted
	      Current mode:		   permissive
	      Mode from config file:	   enforcing
	      Policy MLS status:	   enabled
	      Policy deny_unknown status:  allow
	      Max kernel policy version:   26

       sestatus can also be used to display:

	      -   The security context of files and processes listed in the /etc/sestatus.conf file. The format of this file is described in  ses-
		  tatus.conf(5).

	      -   The status of booleans.

OPTIONS
       -v
	      Displays	the  contexts  of files and processes listed in the /etc/sestatus.conf file. It also checks whether the file is a symbolic
	      link, if so then the context of the target file is also shown.

	      The following contexts will always be displayed:
		     The current process context
		     The init process context
		     The controlling terminal file context

       -b
	      Display the current state of booleans.

FILES
