+.Dt JAIL 2
+.Os FreeBSD 4.0
+.Sh NAME
+.Nm jail
+.Nd Imprison current process and future decendants.
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Fd #include <sys/types.h>
+.Fd #include <sys/jail.h>
+.Ft int
+.Fn jail "struct *jail"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+system call sets up a jail and locks the current process in it.
+.Pp
+The argument is a pointer to a structure describing the prison:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+struct jail {
+ char *path;
+ char *hostname;
+ u_int32_t ip_number;
+};
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The
+.Dq Li path
+pointer should be set to the directory which is to be the root of the
+prison.
+.Pp
+The
+.Dq Li hostname
+pointer can be set the hostname of the prison. This can be changed
+from the inside of the prison.
+.Pp
+The
+.Dq Li ip_number
+can be set to the IP number assigned to the prison.
+.Sh PRISON ?
+Once a process has been put in a prison, it and its decendants cannot escape
+the prison. It is not possible to add a process to a preexisting prison.
+.Pp
+Inside the prison, the concept of "superuser" is very diluted, in general
+it can be assumed that nothing can be mangled from inside a prison, that
+doesn't exist inside that prison (ie: the directory tree below
+.Dq Li path .
+.Pp
+All IP activity will be forced to happen to/from the IP number specified,
+which should be an alias on one of the systems interfaces.
+.Pp
+It is possible to identify a process as jailed by examining
+.Dq Li /proc/<pid>/status :
+it will show a field near the end of the line, either as
+a single hyphen for a process at large, or the hostname currently
+set for the prison for jailed processes.
+.Sh ERRORS
+.Fn Jail
+calls
+.Xr chroot 2
+internally, so the it can fail for all the same reasons.
+Please consult the
+.Xr chroot 2
+manual page for details.
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr chroot 2
+.Xr chdir 2
+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Fn jail
+function call appeared in
+.Fx 4.0 .
+.Pp
+The jail feature was written by Poul-Henning Kamp for
+R&D Associates
+.Dq Li http://www.rndassociates.com/
+who contributed it to FreeBSD.
