Description: Python bindings for the Linux unshare() syscall
This simple extension provides bindings to the Linux unshare() syscall, added
in kernel version 2.6.16.
.
By using unshare(), new and interesting features of the Linux kernel can be
exploited, such as:
.
* Creating a new network name space (CLONE_NEWNET)
* Creating a new file system mount name space (CLONE_NEWNS)
* Reverting other features shared from clone()
.
This library provides an equivalent of the util-linux command-line program
unshare.
