sudo - execute a command as another user

       sudo  allows  a  user that is permitted to do so to execute a command as another user (for example root).
       Permissions are specified by a security policy specified in /etc/sudoers (see sudoers(5)).

       Sudo-rs is a safety oriented and memory safe re-implementation of the  original  sudo  implementation  by
       Todd Miller.

       When  a  command  is  run,  a  session  record  is stored for that specific session allowing users to run
       additional commands without having to re-authenticate.  The timeout for session records can be  specified
       in the policy.

       Some care is taken to pass signals received by sudo-rs to the child process, even if that process runs in
       its own pseudo terminal.

       sudo - execute a command as another user

       -B, --bell
              Ring the bell as part of the password prompt when a terminal is present.

       -D directory, --chdir=directory
              Run the command in the specified directory instead of the current working directory.  The security
              policy  may  return  an  error  if  the  user  does not have the permission to specify the working
              directory.

       -g group, --group=group
              Use this group as the primary group instead of using the primary group specified in  the  password
              database for the target user.

       -h, --help
              Show a help message.

       -i, --login
              Run the shell specified by the target user’s password database entry as a login shell.  This means
              that  login-specific  resource files such as .profile, .bash_profile or .login will be read by the
              shell.  If a command is specified, it is passed to the shell using the -c option.

       -K, --remove-timestamp
              Removes every cached session record for the user, regardless of where  the  command  is  executed.
              The  next  time  sudo-rs  is  run,  authentication  will take place if the policy requires it.  No
              password is required to run this command.

       -k, --reset-timestamp
              When used without a command, invalidates the user’s session record for the current  session.   The
              next time sudo-rs is run, authentication will take place if the policy requires it.

              When used in conjunction with a command or an option that may require a password, this option will
              cause sudo-rs to ignore the user’s session record.  As a result, authentication will take place if
              the  policy  requires  it.   When  used  in conjunction with a command no invalidation of existing
              session records will take place.

       -n, --non-interactive
              Avoid prompting the user for input of any kind.  If any input is required for the command to  run,
              sudo-rs will display an error message and exit.

       p, --prompt=prompt
              Use  a  custom  authentication prompt with optional escape sequences.  The following percent (`%')
              escape sequences are supported:

                      %H  expanded to the local host name

                      %h  expanded to the local host name without the domain name

                      %p  expanded to the name of the user whose password is being requested
                          (this respects the rootpw, targetpw flags)

                      %U  expanded to the login name of the user the command will be run as
                          (defaults to root unless the -u option is also specified)

                      %u  expanded to the invoking user's login name

                      %%  two consecutive ‘%’ characters are collapsed into a single ‘%’ character

              The custom prompt will override the default  prompt  or  the  one  specified  by  the  SUDO_PROMPT
              enviroment variable.  No prompt will suppress the the prompt provided by PAM, unless the requested
              prompt is empty ("")

       -S, --stdin
              Read from standard input instead of using the terminal device.

       -s, --shell
              Run  the  shell specified by the SHELL environment variable.  If no shell was specified, the shell
              from the user’s password database entry will be used instead.  If a command is  specified,  it  is
              passed to the shell using the -c option.

       -u user, --user=user
              Run the command as another user than the default (root).

       -V, --version
              Display the current version of sudo-rs.

       -v, --validate
              Update the session record for the current session, authenticating the user if necessary.

       --     Indicates the end of the sudo-rs options and start of the command.

       Environment  variables  to  be  set  for  the  command  may  be passed on the command line in the form of
       VAR=value.  Variables passed on the command line are subject to  restrictions  imposed  by  the  security
       policy.   Variables passed on the command line are subject to the same restrictions as normal environment
       variables with one important exception: If the command to be run has the SETENV tag set  or  the  command
       matched  is  ALL,  the user may set variables that would otherwise be forbidden.  See sudoers(5) for more
       information.
