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