.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.SH "OPTIONS"
.IX Header "OPTIONS"
\&\fBsudo\fR accepts the following command line options:
-.IP "\-a" 4
-.IX Item "-a"
-The \fB\-a\fR (\fIauthentication type\fR) option causes \fBsudo\fR to use the
-specified authentication type when validating the user, as allowed
-by \fI/etc/login.conf\fR. The system administrator may specify a list
-of sudo-specific authentication methods by adding an \*(L"auth\-sudo\*(R"
-entry in \fI/etc/login.conf\fR. This option is only available on systems
-that support \s-1BSD\s0 authentication.
+@BAMAN@.IP "\-a" 4
+@BAMAN@.IX Item "-a"
+@BAMAN@The \fB\-a\fR (\fIauthentication type\fR) option causes \fBsudo\fR to use the
+@BAMAN@specified authentication type when validating the user, as allowed
+@BAMAN@by \fI/etc/login.conf\fR. The system administrator may specify a list
+@BAMAN@of sudo-specific authentication methods by adding an \*(L"auth\-sudo\*(R"
+@BAMAN@entry in \fI/etc/login.conf\fR. This option is only available on systems
+@BAMAN@that support \s-1BSD\s0 authentication.
.IP "\-b" 4
.IX Item "-b"
The \fB\-b\fR (\fIbackground\fR) option tells \fBsudo\fR to run the given
command in the background. Note that if you use the \fB\-b\fR
option you cannot use shell job control to manipulate the process.
-.IP "\-c" 4
-.IX Item "-c"
-The \fB\-c\fR (\fIclass\fR) option causes \fBsudo\fR to run the specified command
-with resources limited by the specified login class. The \fIclass\fR
-argument can be either a class name as defined in \f(CW\*(C`/etc/login.conf\*(C'\fR,
-or a single '\-' character. Specifying a \fIclass\fR of \f(CW\*(C`\-\*(C'\fR indicates
-that the command should be run restricted by the default login
-capabilities for the user the command is run as. If the \fIclass\fR
-argument specifies an existing user class, the command must be run
-as root, or the \fBsudo\fR command must be run from a shell that is already
-root. This option is only available on systems with \s-1BSD\s0 login classes.
+@LCMAN@.IP "\-c" 4
+@LCMAN@.IX Item "-c"
+@LCMAN@The \fB\-c\fR (\fIclass\fR) option causes \fBsudo\fR to run the specified command
+@LCMAN@with resources limited by the specified login class. The \fIclass\fR
+@LCMAN@argument can be either a class name as defined in \f(CW\*(C`/etc/login.conf\*(C'\fR,
+@LCMAN@or a single '\-' character. Specifying a \fIclass\fR of \f(CW\*(C`\-\*(C'\fR indicates
+@LCMAN@that the command should be run restricted by the default login
+@LCMAN@capabilities for the user the command is run as. If the \fIclass\fR
+@LCMAN@argument specifies an existing user class, the command must be run
+@LCMAN@as root, or the \fBsudo\fR command must be run from a shell that is already
+@LCMAN@root. This option is only available on systems with \s-1BSD\s0 login classes.
.IP "\-E" 4

+@SEMAN@.IX Item "-r"
+@SEMAN@The \fB\-r\fR (\fIrole\fR) option causes the new (SELinux) security context to
+@SEMAN@have the role specified by \fIrole\fR.
.IP "\-S" 4
.IX Item "-S"
The \fB\-S\fR (\fIstdin\fR) option causes \fBsudo\fR to read the password from
The \fB\-s\fR (\fIshell\fR) option runs the shell specified by the \fI\s-1SHELL\s0\fR
environment variable if it is set or the shell as specified
in \fIpasswd\fR\|(@mansectform@).
+@SEMAN@.IP "\-t" 4
+@SEMAN@.IX Item "-t"
+@SEMAN@The \fB\-t\fR (\fItype\fR) option causes the new (SELinux) security context to
+@SEMAN@have the type specified by \fItype\fR. If no type is specified, the default
+@SEMAN@type is derived from the specified role.
.IP "\-u" 4
.IX Item "-u"
The \fB\-u\fR (\fIuser\fR) option causes \fBsudo\fR to run the specified
\&\fB\s-1LD_LIBRARY_PATH\s0\fR=\fI/usr/local/pkg/lib\fR. Variables passed on the
command line are subject to the same restrictions as normal environment
variables with one important exception. If the \fIsetenv\fR option
-is set in \fIsudoers\fR or the command to be run has the \f(CW\*(C`SETENV\*(C'\fR tag
-set the user may set variables that would overwise be forbidden.
-See \fIsudoers\fR\|(@mansectform@) for more information.
