SUXTERM(1)							   User Commands							SUXTERM(1)

NAME

       sux - wrapper around su which will transfer your X credentials

SYNOPSIS

       sux [OPTS] [-] [username] [ARGS]]
       suxterm [OPTS] [-] [username]

DESCRIPTION

       sux is a wrapper around the standard su command which will transfer your X credentials to the target user.

       Note, suxterm forces ARGS to be 'xterm', and will try to launch an xterminal window.

QUICK CALLING

	'sux user' and 'sux - user' behave just like su but transfer $DISPLAY and the X cookies.

OPTIONS

       --untrusted
	      To generate an untrusted cookie, see 'xauth'.

       --timeout <period>
	      To generate a temporary cookie for <period> seconds, see 'xauth'.

       -m,-p --preserve-environment
	      In  this	case  sux will override XAUTHORITY to the so that xauth does not try to use the original user's .Xauthority file (which it
	      obviously could not do anyway due to access rights).

       --no-cookies
	      Just transfer DISPLAY, not the cookies. You could do this if you have already transfered the cookies in  a  previous  invocation	of
	      sux.

       --copy-cookies
	      Copy the cookies using xauth. This is the default method (and only method most of the time).

       --use-xauthority
	      Instead  of  transferring  the  cookies, set the XAUTHORITY environment variable to access the original .Xauthority file.  There's a
	      couple caveats with this method. First, due to the access right issues it's only usable by root. But even then it may  not  work	if
	      the  .Xauthority	file is accessed via NFS, e.g. if the home directories are on NFS (note that this is quite dangerous already since
	      your cookies will travel unencrypted over the network). Then, if root runs commands like xauth add/remove, the .Xauthority's  owner-
	      ship  will  belong  to  him. This will leave the original user in trouble as he will no longer be able to access X! So only use this
	      option with great care. Finally, this method does not work if you also want to use '--untrusted' or '--timeout'.

       --display
	      specify which display to use (in case of having more than one available).

NAME

       Dancer::Cookies - a singleton storage for all cookies

SYNOPSIS

	   use Dancer::Cookies;

	   my $cookies = Dancer::Cookies->cookies;

	   foreach my $name ( keys %{$cookies} ) {
	       my $cookie = $cookies->{$name};
	       my $value  = $cookie->value;
	       print "$name => $value
";
	   }

	   cookie lang => "fr-FR"; #set a cookie and return its value
	   cookie lang => "fr-FR", expires => "2 hours";
	   cookie "lang"	   #return a cookie value

DESCRIPTION

       Dancer::Cookies keeps all the cookies defined by the application and makes them accessible and provides a few helper functions for cookie
       handling with regards to the stored cookies.

METHODS

   init
       This method is called when "->new()" is called. It creates a storage of cookies parsed from the environment using "parse_cookies_from_env"
       described below.

   cookies
       Returns a hash reference of all cookies, all objects of Dancer::Cookie type.

       The key is the cookie name, the value is the Dancer::Cookie object.

   cookie
       "cookie" method is useful to query or set cookies easily.

	   cookie lang => "fr-FR";		# set a cookie and return its value
	   cookie lang => "fr-FR", expires => "2 hours";   # extra cookie info
	   cookie "lang"			# return a cookie value

   parse_cookie_from_env
       Fetches all the cookies from the environment, parses them and creates a hashref of all cookies.

       It also returns all the hashref it created.
