About chroot
Chroot runs a program with access restricted to a specific filesystem directory tree. This changes the root directory the program sees, limiting which files it can reach through ordinary paths. Chroot is used in some Linux environments to create an isolated filesystem context for a process. The evidence describes it as a way to prevent access outside the selected tree but does not specify implementation limits, security guarantees, or how devices and system resources are handled. It should not be treated as complete isolation by itself. Chroot’s documented role is to restrict a process’s visible filesystem tree. The record lists Windows support. Exact platform behavior is not detailed in the available product information.
