boolean values

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_commit_booleans(void);
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 int permanent flag is deprecated and
should be set to zero.
security_commit_booleans() commits all pending values for the
booleans.
Where not otherwise stated, functions described in this manual
page return zero on success or -1 on error.
