Description

Chroot-like filesystem isolation can be emulated for an unprivileged process during testing or development.

It is useful when experimenting with root-like paths without giving a process real administrative privileges. Filesystem isolation can be misunderstood, so users should not treat it as a complete security sandbox unless the limits are clear.

How to run

iamroot

Commands: iamroot
