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	 bool‐
       eans.

       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 deprecated).  However  if  there	 is  an	 SELinux-aware
       application that uses the libselinux functions 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 speci‐
		     fied 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_booleans_path(3)  and  also  a
       local.users file (see local.users(5)) in the selinux_users_path(3).
