# certbot-auto needs root access to bootstrap OS dependencies, and
# certbot itself needs root access for almost all modes of operation
# The "normal" case is that sudo is used for the steps that need root, but
# this script *can* be run as root (not recommended), or fall back to using
# `su`. Auto-detection can be overridden by explicitly setting the
# environment variable LE_AUTO_SUDO to 'sudo', 'sudo_su' or '' as used below.
# Certbot itself needs root access for almost all modes of operation.
# certbot-auto needs root access to bootstrap OS dependencies and install
# Certbot a protected path so it can be safely run as root. To accomplish this,
# this script will attempt to run itself as root if it doesn't have the
# necessary privileges by using `sudo` or falling back to `su` if it is not
# available. The mechanism used to obtain root access can set explicitly by the
# user by overriding the environment variable LE_AUTO_SUDO to 'sudo',
# 'sudo_su', or '' as used below.
# Because the parameters in `su -c` has to be a string,
# we need to properly escape it.
