       This documentation is no longer being maintained  and  may
       be inaccurate or incomplete.  The Texinfo documentation is
       now the authoritative source.

       This manual page documents  the  GNU  version  of  chroot.
       chroot  runs  a  command  with the root directory for file
       name translation changed to the specified  directory.   If
       no  command  is  given,  chroot runs an interactive shell.
       The `SHELL' environment variable specifies the shell  pro-
       gram; the default is /bin/sh.

   OPTIONS
       --help  Print  a usage message on standard output and exit
       successfully.

       --version
              Print version information on standard  output  then
              exit successfully.

   NOTES
       On many systems only the super-user can change root direc-
       tory.
