 directive, which causes a plugin to be loaded.

 A  
 .Li Plugin  
 line consists of the

 keyword, followed by the  
 .Em symbol_name  
 and the

 to the shared object containing the plugin.

 The same shared object may contain multiple plugins, each with a  
 different symbol name.  
 The shared object file must be owned by uid 0 and only writable by its owner.  
 Because of ambiguities that arise from composite policies, only a single  
 policy plugin may be specified.  
 This limitation does not apply to I/O plugins.

   settings) will result in the command being suspended with the
   .Dv SIGTTIN
   signal (or
   .Dv SIGTTOU
   in the case of terminal settings).
   If this happens when
   .Nm sudo
   is a foreground process, the command will be granted the controlling terminal
   and resumed in the foreground with no user intervention required.
   The advantage of initially running the command in the background is that
   .Nm sudo
   need not read from the terminal unless the command explicitly requests it.
   Otherwise, any terminal input must be passed to the command, whether it
   has required it or not (the kernel buffers terminals so it is not possible
   to tell whether the command really wants the input).
   This is different from historic
   .Em sudo
   behavior or when the command is not being run in a pty.
   .Pp
   For this to work seamlessly, the operating system must support the
   automatic restarting of system calls.
   Unfortunately, not all operating systems do this by default,
   and even those that do may have bugs.
   For example, Mac OS X fails to restart the
   .Fn tcgetattr
   and
   .Fn tcsetattr
   system calls (this is a bug in Mac OS X).
   Furthermore, because this behavior depends on the command stopping with the
   .Dv SIGTTIN
   or
   .Dv SIGTTOU
   signals, programs that catch these signals and suspend themselves
   with a different signal (usually
   .Dv SIGTOP )
   will not be automatically foregrounded.
   Some versions of the linux
   .Xr su 1
   command behave this way.
   Because of this, a plugin should not set
   .Em exec_background
   unless it is explicitly enabled by the administrator and there should
   be a way to enabled or disable it on a per-command basis.
   .Pp
   This setting has no effect unless I/O logging is enabled or
   .Em use_pty
   is enabled.

   .Ss Signal handlers
   The
   .Nm sudo
   front end installs default signal handlers to trap common signals
   while the plugin functions are run.
   The following signals are trapped by default before the command is
   executed:
   .Pp

   .Pp
   If a fatal signal is received before the command is executed,
   .Nm sudo
   will call the plugin's
   .Fn close
   function with an exit status of 128 plus the value of the signal
   that was received.
   This allows for consistent logging of commands killed by a signal
   for plugins that log such information in their
   .Fn close
   function.
   .Pp
   A plugin may temporarily install its own signal handlers but must
   restore the original handler before the plugin function returns.
