NAME

6       arch-chroot - enhanced chroot command
7

SYNOPSIS

9       arch-chroot [options] chroot-dir [command]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       arch-chroot wraps the chroot(1) command while ensuring that important
13       functionality is available, e.g. mounting /dev/, /proc and other API
14       filesystems, or exposing resolv.conf(5) to the chroot.
15
16       If command is unspecified, arch-chroot will launch /bin/bash.
17
18           Note
19           The target chroot-dir should be a mountpoint. This ensures that
20           tools such as pacman(8) or findmnt(8) have an accurate hierarchy of
21           the mounted filesystems within the chroot. If your chroot target is
22           not a mountpoint, you can bind mount the directory on itself to
23           make it a mountpoint, i.e.:
24
25           mount --bind /your/chroot /your/chroot
26

OPTIONS

28       -u <user>[:group]
29           Specify non-root user and optional group to use.
30
31       -h
32           Output syntax and command line options.
