# This explorer returns script code string for running a command with su
# or sudo, whichever it founds. If searches the command in the order of
# first su and then sudo if su is not found.
# If no su nor sudo is found then it returns string script code to run
# bare command.
# It uses two arguments, first user and the second command to run.
# If the result string is assigned to foo it can be used in code
# generation as:
# echo "$foo user command"
