    sudo "single character option"

    After running Kubuntu Edgy for a few weeks I did the automatic upgrade to Feisty and loved it--except for some cryptic documentation and presumed knowledge.

    I have searched in vain for definitions of the "single letter" command arguments that sudo wants. Where can I find a simple list of single-letter argument definitions?

    Try

    Code:
    $ man sudo
    Use arrow keys to scroll up/down. Look for the section entitled OPTIONS. Is that what you're after?

      That may be close. I'll have to get to adjacent pages of the man. This line is from the sudo error message, giving examples:
      sudo -K | -L | -V | -h | -k | -l | -v

      I'm trying to find the meaning of those specific -[arguments]
