| Hans-G?nter@25152 | 1 PRoot is a user-space implementation of chroot, mount --bind, and binfmt_misc. |
| Hans-G?nter@25152 | 2 This means that users don't need any privileges or setup to do things like |
| Hans-G?nter@25152 | 3 using an arbitrary directory as the new root filesystem, making files |
| Hans-G?nter@25152 | 4 accessible somewhere else in the filesystem hierarchy, or executing programs |
| Hans-G?nter@25152 | 5 built for another CPU architecture transparently through QEMU user-mode. |
| Hans-G?nter@25152 | 6 Also, developers can use PRoot as a generic Linux process instrumentation |
| Hans-G?nter@25152 | 7 engine thanks to its extension mechanism, see CARE for an example. |
