setsebool(8)                    SELinux Command Line documentation                   setsebool(8)



NAME
       setsebool - set SELinux boolean value


SYNOPSIS
       setsebool [ -P ] boolean value | bool1=val1 bool2=val2 ...


DESCRIPTION
       setsebool  sets the current state of a particular SELinux boolean or a list of booleans to
       a given value. The value may be 1 or true to enable the boolean, or 0 or false to  disable
       it.

       Without  the  -P option, only the current boolean value is affected; the boot-time default
       settings defined by /etc/selinux/SELINUXTYPE/booleans are not changed.

       If the -P option is given, all pending values are written to the boolean file on disk.
