NAME
       getsebool - get SELinux boolean value(s)

SYNOPSIS
       getsebool [-a] [boolean]

DESCRIPTION
       getsebool  reports  where  a particular SELinux boolean or all SELinux booleans are on or off In certain situations a boolean can be in one
       state with a pending change to the other state.	getsebool will report this as a pending change.  The pending  value  indicates	the  value
       that will be applied upon the next boolean commit.

       The  setting  of  boolean  values  occurs in two stages; first the pending value is changed, then the booleans are committed, causing their
       active values to become their pending values.  This allows a group of booleans to be changed in a single transaction,  by  setting  all	of
       their pending values as desired and then committing once.

OPTIONS
       -a     Show all SELinux booleans.
