Summary: mdo(1) not documented at all while doas(1) or sudo(8)
are

Hi,
FreeBSD has a native mdo(1) tool with macdo(4) module to do mostly the same as
doas(1) or sudo(8) offers. Yet doas(1) and sudo(8) are documented on FreeBSD
Handbook and mdo(1) is not.
- https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/security/#security-sudo
- https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/security/#security-doas
I just wrote an article that also covers mdo(1) here:
- https://vermaden.wordpress.com/2026/03/01/uplift-privileges-on-freebsd/
Its FreeBSD licensed - pick anything you like from it to fill the FreeBSD
Handbook with needed mdo(1) information.
Thanks,
vermaden
