NAME¶
security_load_booleans, security_set_boolean, security_commit_booleans,
security_get_boolean_names, security_get_boolean_active,
security_get_boolean_pending - routines for manipulating SELinux boolean
values
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <selinux/selinux.h>
int security_load_booleans(char *path);
int security_get_boolean_names(char ***names, int
*len);
int security_get_boolean_pending(const char *name);
int security_get_boolean_active(const char *name);
int security_set_boolean(const char *name, int
value);
int security_set_boolean_list(size_t boolcnt, SELboolean
*boollist, int permanent);
int security_commit_booleans(void);
DESCRIPTION¶
The SELinux policy can include conditional rules that are enabled or disabled
based on the current values of a set of policy booleans. These policy booleans
allow runtime modification of the security policy without having to load a new
policy.
The SELinux API allows for a transaction based update. So you can set several
boolean values and then commit them all at once.
security_load_booleans() loads policy boolean settings. Path may be NULL,
in which case the booleans are loaded from the active policy boolean
configuration file.
security_get_boolean_names() provides a list of boolean names, currently
supported by the loaded policy.
security_get_boolean_pending() returns the pending value for boolean or
-1 on failure.
security_get_boolean_active() returns the active value for boolean or -1
on failure.
security_set_boolean() sets the pending value for boolean
security_set_boolean_list() saves a list of booleans in a single
transaction.
security_commit_booleans() commits all pending values for the booleans.
RETURN VALUE¶
Where not otherwise stated, functions described in this manual page return zero
on success or -1 on error.
