3.3 Debugging options

Some options are only useful when trying to find out why Become is misbehaving. Of course, this never happens, so here are the options which you won't need to use:

-T[file]
--trace[=file]

Write trace information to file (or to standard output, if no file is specified). You must be able to create the file and open it for writing.

-L[feature...]
--trace-level[=feature]

Selects which features Become ought to trace. Each feature is allocated a letter; simply string together the letters for the features you want to debug. The letters `D' and `A' stand respectively for `default' and `all' features; you can subtract from them by saying, for example, `A-xyz' to select all features except `x', `y' and `z'. The exact list of features supported at any one time can be listed by giving the --trace-level option without an argument.

-I user
--impersonate=user

Pretend to be user instead of yourself when the request is checked. This option can only be used if it wasn't disabled at compile-time and if Become is not running setuid. Even so, Become will only inform you of the outcome; it will not execute any commands.
