| ## Name
 | |
| 
 | |
| chroot - run a shell with a different filesystem root
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Synopsis
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```**sh
 | |
| # chroot <path> [program] [-o options]
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## 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).
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Examples
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```sh
 | |
| # chroot /var/chroot
 | |
| # pwd
 | |
| /
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```sh
 | |
| # chroot -u 200:200 /var/chroot
 | |
| $ id
 | |
| uid=200(nona) gid=200(n/a)
 | |
| ```
