-    // Explanation for "su root sh -c": there are 2 flavors of "su" in circulation
-    // on Android. The default Android su has the following syntax to run a command
-    // as root:
-    //   su root 'command'
-    // and 'command' is exec'd not passed to a shell, so if shell interpretation is
-    // wanted, one needs to do:
-    //   su root sh -c 'command'
-    // Besides that default Android 'su' command, some Android devices use a different
-    // su with a command-line interface closer to the familiar util-linux su found
-    // on Linux distributions. Fortunately, both the util-linux su and the one
-    // in https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk seem to be happy with the above
-    // `su root sh -c 'command'` command line syntax.
