    Suid is a bit set on executables that results in them being run as the user that owns the file without needing a password, for example, passwd as root.

    Run0 ignores this bit

      What a nice succinct explanation!

      But also completely useless. Run0 ignores the suid bit for the same reason as 99% of command line apps do: it ignores because it isn’t relevant to its functionality.
