.Sh NAME
.Nm xbps-uchroot
.Nd XBPS utility to chroot and bind mount with linux namespaces
.Sh SYNOPSYS
.Nm xbps-uchroot
.Op OPTIONS
.Ar CHROOTDIR
.Ar COMMAND
.Op ARGS
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
utility allows users to chroot and bind mount required pseudo-filesystems
(/dev, /proc and /sys) in the target
.Ar CHROOTDIR
to execute
.Ar COMMAND .
The
.Nm
utility uses by default Linux namespaces to isolate IPC, PIDs and mounts to
the calling process. If running in a OpenVZ container, these namespace features
are simply disabled.
.Sh OPTIONS
.Bl -tag -width -x
.It Fl D Ar dir
Specifies a full path to a directory that will be bind mounted at
.Ar CHROOTDIR/xbps-packages .
.It Fl H Ar dir
Specifies a full path to a directory that will be bind mounted at
.Ar CHROOTDIR/host .
.It Fl S Ar dir
Specifies a full path to a directory to allow shm functionality to be used
in the target
.Ar CHROOTDIR/dir .
If your system uses
.Sy /dev/shm
use it, otherwise use
.Sy /run/shm .
.El
.Sh SECURITY
The
.Nm
executable must be setgid to function properly and shall only be executable by a specific
group to avoid security issues (4750).
.Sh NOTES
The
.Nm
utility uses Linux specific features (namespaces) and it's not meant to be portable to
other Operating Systems. The following kernel options must be enabled:
.Pp
.Bl -tag -compact -offset indent
.It Sy CONFIG_NAMESPACES
.It Sy CONFIG_IPC_NS
.It Sy CONFIG_PID_NS
