NAME

       arch-chroot - enhanced chroot command

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

       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

OPTIONS

       -u <user>[:group]
           Specify non-root user and optional group to use.

       -h
           Output syntax and command line options.

SEE ALSO

       pacman(8)
