The command arch-chroot
is a command used in Arch Linux to enter a chroot environment. Chroot stands for change root, and it allows you to switch the root directory for a particular process or command. This can be useful when you need to run commands or perform tasks on a different Linux system installed on your disk.
Here's how the command is structured:
arch-chroot
: This is the main executable command to enter the chroot environment.${path-to-new-root}
: This is the path to the new root directory you want to enter. It should be an absolute path.${command}
: This is the command you want to execute within the chroot environment.${command_arguments}
: These are the arguments or options specific to the command you mentioned.
When you run this command, it will create a new process and switch the root directory to the one specified by ${path-to-new-root}
. Then, it will execute the ${command}
with the given ${command_arguments}
within the chroot environment.
For example, if you want to run the ls
command with the argument -l
within the chroot environment located at /mnt/arch
, the command would look like this:
arch-chroot /mnt/arch ls -l
Note that the above example assumes you have already set up a chroot environment at /mnt/arch
.
