The correct title of this article is visudo. The initial letter is capitalized due to technical restrictions.

visudo is a command line tool that edits the sudoers file in a safe fashion. The sudoers file (typically found at /etc/sudoers) allows listed users access to execute to a subset of commands as the root user.
