option meaning
sudo -h Help List usage, exit.
sudo -V Version displays version information and exits.
sudo -l List Lists the commands that the current user can execute. Only users in sudoers can use this option.
sudo -u username|#uid User Executes the command as the specified user. The following users are other than root, which can be username or #uid.
sudo -k Kill clears the time on the "ticket", and the password is required the next time you use sudo.
sudo -K Sure kill is similar to -k, but it also rips the "entry roll", that is, deletes the timestamp file.
sudo -b command Background executes the specified command in the background.
sudo -p prompt command Prompt can change the prompt language asking for password, where %u will be replaced by the user account name, and %h will display the host name. Very user-friendly design.
sudo -e file Edit is not to execute the command, but to modify the file, which is equivalent to the command sudoedit.
