## Description
|
|
|
|
|
|

|

This program uses the [`chroot`(2)](../man2/chroot.md) syscall to switch into a
|
|
|
|
|
different filesystem root and spawn a shell inside it.

|
It runs the given *program* (by default, `/bin/Shell`) inside the new root.
|
|
|
|
|
Mount options can be given in the same format as for [`mount`(8)](mount.md).
