Hi 👋🏻,
Description
sudo
historically has a command to edit a file with the configured editor of your choice, often sudo -e
or his own binary sudoedit
. It copies the file with your user's permissions in a temporary place so that you can freely edit it.
The -e
argument is already defined in the CLI options, so this could be more of a tracking issue.
Whether there should be a sudoedit
binary distributed along the others can be discussed here. Since sudo-rs
aims to be a fully functional replacement, including a sudoedit
binary would help for backwards compatibility. It could also be an opportunity to drop a binary that mirrors the behavior of sudo -e
Additional information
You can see an implementation of such a command here: github.com/sudo-project/sudo:main/src/sudo_edit.c (in C though 🤮)
I'm willing to try a PR for this 😄
