Whats the difference between this and a chroot?


Instead of chrooting to somewhere else, replicating your filesystem, ..., this switches into a new mount namespace and uses bind mounts to shadow the files/directories that are intended to be redirected. This way your entire filesystem continues to be visible to the target application, and only the paths you want altered are altered.
