arch-chroot - enhanced chroot command

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

arch-chroot wraps the *chroot*(1) command while ensuring that important functionality is available, e.g. mounting dev, /proc and other API filesystems, or exposing *resolv.conf*(5) to the chroot.

If command is unspecified, arch-chroot will launch /bin/bash.

Note

The target chroot-dir should be a mountpoint. This ensures that tools such as *pacman*(8) or *findmnt*(8) have an accurate hierarchy of the mounted filesystems within the chroot. If your chroot target is not a mountpoint, you can bind mount the directory on itself to make it a mountpoint, i.e.:

mount –bind /your/chroot /your/chroot

-u <user>[:group]

Specify non-root user and optional group to use.

-h

Output syntax and command line options.
