Description

Creates controlled chroot-style work areas where developers and administrators can build packages, test alternate Linux roots, or inspect software with a different filesystem view.

Root filesystem isolation is not the same as a full security sandbox. Configure profiles, mounts, users, and writable paths carefully before running untrusted code.
