NAME         top

       setsebool - set SELinux boolean value

SYNOPSIS         top

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

DESCRIPTION         top

       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 or on to enable the boolean, or 0 or false or off to disable
       it.

       Without the -P option, only the current boolean value is
       affected; the boot-time default settings are not changed.

       If the -P option is given, all pending values are written to the
       policy file on disk. So they will be persistent across reboots.

       If the -N option is given, the policy on disk is not reloaded
       into the kernel.

       If the -V option is given, verbose error messages will be printed
       from semanage libraries.
