From the su(1) manual page:

     -l      Simulate a full login.  The environment is discarded except for
             HOME, SHELL, PATH, TERM, and USER.  HOME and SHELL are modified
             as above.  USER is set to the target login.  PATH is set to
             ``/bin:/usr/bin''.  TERM is imported from your current environ-
             ment.  The invoked shell is the target login's, and su will
             change directory to the target login's home directory.

     -       (no letter) The same as -l.
