chroot: Linux Commands HowTo
chroot: Run a command with a different root directory
Run a command with a different root directory
?chroot? runs a command with a specified root directory. On many systems, only
the super-user can do this.
SYNTAX
chroot NEWROOT [COMMAND [ARGS]...]
chroot OPTION
Ordinarily, filenames are looked up starting at the root of the
directory structure, i.e. ?/?
?chroot? changes the root to the directory NEWROOT (which must exist)
and then runs COMMAND with optional ARGS.
If COMMAND is not specified, the default is the value of the `SHELL? environment
variable or `/bin/sh? if not set, invoked with the `-i? option.
The only options are `--help? and `--version?
A mission statement is defined as "a long awkward sentence
that demonstrates management?s inability to think clearly." All good companies
have one. - Scott
Adams, The Dilbert Principle, 1996"
