abroot: Enter the transactional shell in the future root partition and switch root on the next boot.

try on your machine

The command "sudo abroot shell" is used to open a new shell session within the abroot environment with root privileges.

Here's a breakdown of each part of the command:

  • "sudo": sudo is a command that allows a user to run programs or commands with the security privileges of another user, usually the superuser (root). By using sudo in this command, you are requesting root privileges to execute the subsequent command.

  • "abroot": abroot is likely the name or alias of a specific application or system tool. Without more context, it's not possible to determine its exact purpose.

  • "shell": "shell" is a command that typically launches a new shell session, providing an interactive command-line interface where users can execute commands.

Therefore, when you run "sudo abroot shell," you are starting a new shell session within the abroot environment, and it will be executed with root privileges, meaning you'll have elevated access to system resources and permissions within that shell.
