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_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. Note that the intpermanent
flag is deprecated and should be set to zero.
security_commit_booleans() commits all pending values for the booleans.
