Description Jan Zarsky 2016-08-29 07:58:26 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1168591 +++

Description of problem:
According to the man page of is_selinux_mls_enabled:

is_selinux_mls_enabled() returns 1 if SELinux is running in MLS mode or 0 if it is not.

Which is misleading because is_selinux_mls_enabled() returns whether the system is CAPABLE of running in MLS mode, not whether it is running in MLS mode right now.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libselinux-2.2.2-6.el7

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. man is_selinux_mls_enabled
