<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.
</para>
<para>
  By default, <command>bwrap</command> creates a new user namespace for the sandbox.
  Optionally it also sets up new ipc, pid, network and uts namespaces. The application
  in the sandbox can be made to run with a different UID and GID.
</para>
<para>
  <command>bwrap</command> is running a minimal pid 1 process in the sandbox that
  is responsible for reaping zombies. It also detects when the initial application
  process (pid 2) dies and reports its exit status back to the original spawner.
  The pid 1 process exits to clean up the sandbox when there are no other processes
  in the sandbox left.
</para>
