chroot changes the root directory to that specified in
path . This directory will be used for path names beginning with /. The root
directory is inherited by all children of the current process.
Only the super-user may change the root directory.
Note that this call does not change the current working directory,
so that `.' can be outside the tree rooted at `/'.
In particular, the super-user can escape from a `chroot jail'
by doing `mkdir foo; chroot foo; cd ..'.
RETURN VALUE
On success, zero is returned. On error, -1 is returned, and
errno is set appropriately.
