securely edit files with the editor of their choice. As s\bsu\bud\bdo\boe\bed\bdi\bit\bt is a
built-in command, it must be specified in _\bs_\bu_\bd_\bo_\be_\br_\bs without a leading path.
However, it may take command line arguments just as a normal command
- does. For example, to allow user operator to edit the ``message of the
- day'' file:
+ does. Wildcards used in _\bs_\bu_\bd_\bo_\be_\bd_\bi_\bt command line arguments are expected to
+ be path names, so a forward slash (`/') will not be matched by a
+ wildcard.
+
+ Unlike other s\bsu\bud\bdo\bo commands, the editor is run with the permissions of the
+ invoking user and with the environment unmodified. More information may
+ be found in the description of the -\b-e\be option in sudo(1m).
+
+ For example, to allow user operator to edit the ``message of the day''
+ file:
operator sudoedit /etc/motd
