The chroot keyword
chroot works like the same system call on UNIX, by changing root directory for all pathnames that start with a / and all of its children to FILENAME. This system call can only be run by the superuser. Without FILENAME, the contents of $_ are used.
Syntax
chroot FILENAME
chroot
Examples
chroot $filename;
chroot /usr
