NAME
chroot - change root directoryLIBRARY
Lb libcSYNOPSIS
In unistd.h Ft int Fn chroot const char *dirnameDESCRIPTION
The Fa dirname argument is the address of the pathname of a directory, terminated by an ASCII NUL. The Fn chroot system call causes Fa dirname to become the root directory, that is, the starting point for path searches of pathnames beginning with `/'In order for a directory to become the root directory a process must have execute (search) access for that directory.
It should be noted that Fn chroot has no effect on the process's current directory.
This call is restricted to the super-user.
Depending on the setting of the `kern.chroot_allow_open_directories' sysctl variable, open filedescriptors which reference directories will make the Fn chroot fail as follows:
If `kern.chroot_allow_open_directories' is set to zero, Fn chroot will always fail with Er EPERM if there are any directories open.
If `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 the Fn chroot system call.
Any other value for `kern.chroot_allow_open_directories' will bypass the check for open directories
Upon successful completion, a value of 0 is returned. Otherwise, a value of -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate an error.
ERRORS
The Fn chroot system call will fail and the root directory will be unchanged if:- Bq Er ENOTDIR
- A component of the path name is not a directory.
- Bq Er EPERM
- The effective user ID is not the super-user, or one or more filedescriptors are open directories.
- Bq Er ENAMETOOLONG
- A component of a pathname exceeded 255 characters, or an entire path name exceeded 1023 characters.
- Bq Er ENOENT
- The named directory does not exist.
- Bq Er EACCES
- Search permission is denied for any component of the path name.
- Bq Er ELOOP
- Too many symbolic links were encountered in translating the pathname.
- Bq Er EFAULT
- The Fa dirname argument points outside the process's allocated address space.
- Bq Er EIO
- An I/O error occurred while reading from or writing to the file system.

The Fn chroot system call appeared in BSD 4.2BUGS
If the process is able to change its working directory to the target directory, but another access control check fails (such as a check for open directories, or a MAC check), it is possible that this system call may return an error, with the working directory of the process left changed.Contenus ©2006-2024 Benjamin Poulain
