AA-STATUS(8)							     AppArmor							      AA-STATUS(8)

NAME
       aa-status - display various information about the current AppArmor policy.

SYNOPSIS
       aa-status [option]

DESCRIPTION
       aa-status will report various aspects of the current state of AppArmor confinement. By default, it displays the same information as if the
       --verbose argument were given. A sample of what this looks like is:

	 apparmor module is loaded.
	 110 profiles are loaded.
	 102 profiles are in enforce mode.
	 8 profiles are in complain mode.
	 Out of 129 processes running:
	 13 processes have profiles defined.
	 8 processes have profiles in enforce mode.
	 5 processes have profiles in complain mode.

       Other argument options are provided to report individual aspects, to support being used in scripts.

OPTIONS
       aa-status accepts only one argument at a time out of:

       --enabled
	   returns error code if AppArmor is not enabled.

       --profiled
	   displays the number of loaded AppArmor policies.

       --enforced
	   displays the number of loaded enforcing AppArmor policies.

       --complaining
	   displays the number of loaded non-enforcing AppArmor policies.

       --verbose
	   displays multiple data points about loaded AppArmor policy set (the default action if no arguments are given).

       --help
	   displays a short usage statement.

BUGS
       aa-status must be run as root to read the state of the loaded policy from the apparmor module. It uses the /proc filesystem to determine
       which processes are confined and so is susceptible to race conditions.

       Upon exiting, aa-status will set its return value to the following values:

       0   if apparmor is enabled and policy is loaded.

       1   if apparmor is not enabled/loaded.

       2   if apparmor is enabled but no policy is loaded.

       3   if the apparmor control files aren't available under /sys/kernel/security/.

       4   if the user running the script doesn't have enough privileges to read the apparmor control files.
