Struct Sudo 

pub struct Sudo {
    prefix: Vec<String>,
    askpass: Option<PathBuf>,
    _shim: Option<TempShim>,
}

Resolved sudo strategy: the argv prefix plus any owned askpass shim.

Fields

prefix: Vec<String>

e.g. [] (root), ["sudo", "-A"], or ["sudo", "-n"].

askpass: Option<PathBuf>

Askpass shim exported to spawned sudo commands via SUDO_ASKPASS. None when sudo is not used, or when the caller’s own SUDO_ASKPASS is inherited from the environment.

_shim: Option<TempShim>

Implementations

impl Sudo

pub fn resolve(password_file: Option<&Path>) -> Result<Sudo>

Decide the sudo strategy from euid, the environment, and an optional password file resolved from the spec (takes precedence over $SCX_SUDO_PASSWORD_FILE).

fn apply_env(&self, c: &mut Command)

Export the askpass shim (if any) to a spawned sudo command.

pub fn command(&self, program: &str, args: &[String]) -> Command

Build a Command running program (with args) as root.

pub fn authenticate(&self) -> Result<()>

Validate that sudo authenticates now (sudo <prefix> -v). No-op as root. Returns Err with sudo’s stderr on failure.
