<refsect1><title>Description</title>
<para>
- <command>bwrap</command> works by creating a new, completely empty, filesystem
- namespace where the root is on a tmpfs that is invisible from the host, and which
- will be automatically cleaned up when the last process exists. You can then use
- commandline options to construct the root filesystem and process environment for
- the command to run in the namespace.
+ <command>bwrap</command> is a privileged helper for container setup. You
+ are unlikely to use it directly from the commandline, although that is possible.
