    NAME
           lxc-unshare - Run a task in a new set of namespaces.
    
    SYNOPSIS
           lxc-unshare
    {-s namespaces} [-u user] [-H hostname] [-i ifname] [-d] [-M] {command}
    
    DESCRIPTION
           lxc-unshare can be used to run a task in a cloned set of namespaces.
           This command is mainly provided for testing purposes.  Despite its
           name, it always uses clone rather than unshare to create the new task
           with fresh namespaces. Apart from testing kernel regressions this
           should make no difference.
    
    OPTIONS
           -s namespaces
    	      Specify the namespaces to attach to, as a pipe-separated list,
    	      e.g. NETWORK|IPC. Allowed values are MOUNT, PID, UTSNAME, IPC,
    	      USER and NETWORK. This allows one to change the context of the
    	      process to e.g. the network namespace of the container while
    	      retaining the other namespaces as those of the host. (The pipe
    	      symbol needs to be escaped, e.g.	MOUNT\|PID or quoted, e.g.
    	      "MOUNT|PID".)
    
           -u user
    	      Specify a userid which the new task should become.
    
           -H hostname
    	      Set the hostname in the new container. Only allowed if the
    	      UTSNAME namespace is set.
    
           -i interfacename
    	      Move the named interface into the container. Only allowed if the
    	      NETWORK namespace is set. You may specify this argument multiple
    	      times to move multiple interfaces into container.
    
           -d     Daemonize (do not wait for the container to exit before exiting)
    
           -M     Mount default filesystems (/proc /dev/shm and /dev/mqueue) in
    	      the container. Only allowed if MOUNT namespace is set.
    
    EXAMPLES
           To spawn a new shell with its own UTS (hostname) namespace,
    
    
    		 lxc-unshare -s UTSNAME /bin/bash
    
    
           If the hostname is changed in that shell, the change will not be
           reflected on the host.
    
           To spawn a shell in a new network, pid, and mount namespace,
    
    
    		 lxc-unshare -s "NETWORK|PID|MOUNT" /bin/bash
    
    
           The resulting shell will have pid 1 and will see no network interfaces.
           After re-mounting /proc in that shell,
    
    
    		 mount -t proc proc /proc
    
    
           ps output will show there are no other processes in the namespace.
    
           To spawn a shell in a new network, pid, mount, and hostname namespace.
    
    
    		 lxc-unshare -s "NETWORK|PID|MOUNT|UTSNAME" -M -H slave -i veth1 /bin/bash
    
    
           The resulting shell will have pid 1 and will see two network interfaces
           (lo and veth1). The hostname will be "slave" and /proc will have been
           remounted. ps output will show there are no other processes in the
           namespace.
