15 provides an autopkgtest virtualisation server using a chroot install
23 The chroot to use must be specified. If it starts with a
25 character then it is taken to be a chroot name known to
27 Otherwise it must start with a
29 and will be taken to an absolute path.

35 can become root (on the host) by prefixing its commands with
37 The command may consist of several words separated by whitespace,
38 in which case words other than the first are supplied as additional
39 arguments to the command; other shell (or other) metacharacters in
41 are not interpreted or modified by
42 .BR adt\-virt\-chroot .
43 The actual command to be run as root, and
44 its arguments, are supplied as additional (separate) arguments to
47 Root privilege is needed, to successfully run
49 if the chroot to use is specified as an absolute path. The default is
50 not to take any special action when root will be needed, in which case
51 for an absolute path chroot,
53 must be started as root.

56 Enables debugging output. Probably not hugely interesting.

71 This tool lacks flexibility, and also lacks features provided for by
72 the specification which would be useful for robust testing.
