It's not "pseudo". It's
sudo, a command to
substitute
userid and
do another command as that user.
The
su command is often misinterpreted by people as meaning
super
user, since by default it will cause the current session to be treated as "root", the super user. If you have the proper authority, prepending a command with
sudo will run that command with full access to the entire system and no further security checks.
