NAME
su - substitute user id temporarily
SYNOPSIS
su
[ userid ]
DESCRIPTION
Su
demands the password of the specified
userid,
and if it is given,
changes to that
userid
and invokes the Shell
sh(1)
without changing the current directory or the
user environment (see
environ(5)).
The new user ID stays in force until the Shell exits.
If no
userid
is specified, `root' is assumed.
To remind the super-user of his responsibilities,
the Shell substitutes `#' for its usual prompt.
