NAME
       sestatus - SELinux status tool

SYNOPSIS
       sestatus [-v] [-b]
       This tool is used to get the status of a system running SELinux.

DESCRIPTION
       This manual page describes the sestatus program.
       This  tool  is  used  to get the status of a system running SELinux. It
       displays data about whether SELinux is enabled or disabled, location of
       key  directories, and the loaded policy with its status as shown in the
       example:
              > sestatus
              SELinux status:              enabled
              SELinuxfs mount:             /selinux
              SELinux root directory:      /etc/selinux
              Loaded policy name:          targeted
              Current mode:                permissive
              Mode from config file:       enforcing
              Policy MLS status:           enabled
              Policy deny_unknown status:  allow
              Max kernel policy version:   26
       sestatus can also be used to display:
              -   The security context of files and processes  listed  in  the
                  /etc/sestatus.conf   file.   The  format  of  this  file  is
                  described in sestatus.conf(5).
              -   The status of booleans.

OPTIONS
       -v
              Displays the contexts of  files  and  processes  listed  in  the
              /etc/sestatus.conf  file.  It  also checks whether the file is a
              symbolic link, if so then the context of the target file is also
              shown.
              The following contexts will always be displayed:
                     The current process context
                     The init process context
                     The controlling terminal file context
       -b
              Display the current state of booleans.
