Privileged mode. Disabling -p sets the effective user
id to the real user id, and the effective group id to
the real group id. Enabling -p restores the effective
user and group ids to their values when the shell was
invoked. The -p option is on whenever the real and
effective user id is not equal or the real and
effective group id is not equal. User profiles are not
processed when -p is enabled.
