  Description     : A virtual file system for sandboxing

sandboxfs is a FUSE file system that exposes a combination of multiple
files and directories from the host's file system in the form of a virtual
tree with an arbitrary layout.  You can think of a sandbox as an arbitrary
view into the host's file system with different access privileges per
directory.

sandboxfs is designed to allow running commands with limited access to
the file system by using the virtual tree as their new root, and to do so
consistently across a variety of platforms.
