what is terminal command sudo
The sudo command in the Terminal is used to issue commands with superuser privileges. For example, if you wanted to copy a file into a system-owned folder, you would use. sudo cp file folder. The system would warn you about using the sudo command thoughtfully, and then prompt you for your admin password. You cannot undo sudo commands, or indeed, any command, in the Terminal. Matt.
