visudo: Display version information.
$ visudo --version
try on your machine
The command visudo --version
is used to display the version of visudo, which is a command-line tool used to edit the sudoers file in Unix-like systems.
The visudo
command itself is similar to the sudo
command but specifically designed for editing the sudoers file. The sudoers file contains rules and configurations that determine which users can run commands as root or other users using sudo.
The --version
option is a common argument in many command-line tools that allows you to retrieve the version information of a particular software. When you run visudo --version
, the command will display the version number of the visudo tool currently installed on your system.
