16 Spawns an interactive shell inside a toolbox container that was created
17 using the toolbox create command. It tries to spawn the user's default
18 shell, but if it's not available inside the container then it falls
19 back to /bin/bash.

22 When invoked without any options, toolbox enter will try to enter the
23 default toolbox container for the host, or if there's only one con‐
24 tainer available then it will use it. On Fedora, the default container
25 is known as fedora-toolbox-N, where N is the release of the host. If
26 there aren't any containers, toolbox enter will offer to create the de‐
27 fault one for you.

30 A specific container can be selected using the CONTAINER argument.
