VISUDO(8)

visudo edits the sudoers file in a safe fashion, analogous to vipw(8).
visudo locks the sudoers file against multiple simultaneous edits,
provides basic sanity checks, and checks for parse errors. If the sudoers
file is currently being edited you will receive a message to try again
later.
