NAME
       adt-virt-chroot - autopkgtest virtualisation server using a chroot


SYNOPSIS
       adt-virt-chroot [options] [-rgain-root-cmd] /path/to/chroot


DESCRIPTION
       adt-virt-chroot provides an autopkgtest virtualisation server using a chroot install (or similar).

       Normally adt-virt-chroot will be invoked by adt-run.

       The chroot directory to use must be specified.


OPTIONS
       --gain-root|-r gain-root-cmd
              Specifies  that adt-virt-chroot can become root (on the host) by prefixing its commands with gain-
              root-cmd.  The command may consist of several words separated by whitespace, in which  case  words
              other  than  the first are supplied as additional arguments to the command; other shell (or other)
              metacharacters in gain-root-cmd are not interpreted or modified by  adt-virt-chroot.   The  actual
              command  to  be run as root, and its arguments, are supplied as additional (separate) arguments to
              gain-root-cmd.

              Root privilege is needed, to successfully run chroot(8), if the chroot to use is specified  as  an
              absolute  path.   The default is not to take any special action when root will be needed, in which
              case for an absolute path chroot, adt-virt-chroot must be started as root.

       -d | --debug
              Enables debugging output.  Probably not hugely interesting.


INPUT, OUTPUT AND EXIT STATUS
       The  behaviour  of  adt-virt-chroot  is  as  described  by  the  AutomatedTesting  virtualisation  regime
       specification.
