chrootuid - run command in restricted environmentSYNOPSIS¶
chrootuid [-i] newroot newuser command...
DESCRIPTION¶
The chrootuid command sets up a restricted environment for executing command.

The initial working directory is changed to newroot.

There is only one option for chrootuid: -i. That option makes it run in interactive mode. Errors will be printed on stderr instead of through syslog and the exit status will be 1 if there are any errors.
RETURN CODES¶
The exit status of chrootuid when running on daemon mode (default) is always 0.
DIAGNOSTICS¶
Problems are reported to the syslog daemon if running on daemon mode. If running on interactive mode, errors are reported on stderr.
