Description

A tool that simulates a chroot environment without needing a real privileged chroot setup. It is useful for packaging, testing installation paths, and running build scripts that expect to operate under a different root directory.

Use it for development and packaging workflows, not as a security sandbox. Because it is a fake chroot, it should not be trusted to isolate untrusted software.

How to run
