     1.4 +PRoot is a user-space implementation of chroot, mount --bind, and binfmt_misc.
     1.5 +This means that users don't need any privileges or setup to do things like
     1.6 +using an arbitrary directory as the new root filesystem, making files
     1.7 +accessible somewhere else in the filesystem hierarchy, or executing programs
     1.8 +built for another CPU architecture transparently through QEMU user-mode.
     1.9 +Also, developers can use PRoot as a generic Linux process instrumentation
    1.10 +engine thanks to its extension mechanism, see CARE for an example.
    1.11 +Technically PRoot relies on ptrace, an unprivileged system-call available
    1.12 +in every Linux kernel.
