.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In unistd.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn chroot "const char *dirname"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Fa Dirname
|
|
is the address of the pathname of a directory, terminated by an ASCII NUL.
|
|
.Fn Chroot
|
|
causes
|
|
.Fa dirname
|
|
to become the root directory,
|
|
that is, the starting point for path searches of pathnames
|
|
beginning with
|
|
.Ql / .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In order for a directory to become the root directory
|
|
a process must have execute (search) access for that directory.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
It should be noted that
|
|
.Fn chroot
|
|
has no effect on the process's current directory.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This call is restricted to the super-user.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Depending on the setting of the
|
|
.Ql kern.chroot_allow_open_directories
|
|
sysctl variable, open filedescriptors which reference directories
|
|
will make the
|
|
.Fn chroot
|
|
fail as follows:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If
|
|
.Ql kern.chroot_allow_open_directories
|
|
is set to zero,
|
|
.Fn chroot
|
|
will always fail with
|
|
.Er EPERM
|
|
if there are any directories open.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If
|
|
.Ql kern.chroot_allow_open_directories
|
|
is set to one (the default),
|
|
.Fn chroot
|
|
will fail with
|
|
.Er EPERM
|
|
if there are any directories open and the
|
|
process is already subject to a
|
|
.Fn chroot
|
|
call.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Any other value for
|
|
.Ql kern.chroot_allow_open_directories
|
|
will bypass the check for open directories
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Upon successful completion, a value of 0 is returned. Otherwise,
|
|
a value of -1 is returned and
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
is set to indicate an error.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|

|
|
will fail and the root directory will be unchanged if:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
