## 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)
```
