sudo

node-sudo
=========

A child_process.spawn but with sudo in between. The sudo password dialog
is abstracted away so that the calling Node script can interact with the
program that is run under sudo without worrying about it.

Synopsis
--------

``javascript
sudo(args, options)
`

- args: An array of arguments to sudo. Can be both options (such as -v
or -E) and the program to run. Example: ['ls'].

- options: An optional object containing options. Recognized options are:

- cachePassword: Boolean; whether to remember the password between
invocations or not.

- prompt: String; what to display to the user when the password is
needed.

- spawnOptions: Object; passed on directly to spawn. stdio or
customFds will be overwritten.

Example
-------

`javascript
var sudo = require('sudo');
var options = {
cachePassword: true,
prompt: 'Password, yo? ',
spawnOptions: { / other options for spawn / }
};
var child = sudo([ 'ls', '-l', '/tmp' ], options);
child.stdout.on('data', function (data) {
console.log(data.toString());
});
``
