| .SH NAME |
| bst\-shell \- Shell into an element's sandbox environment |
| .SH SYNOPSIS |
| .B bst shell |
| [OPTIONS] [ELEMENT] [COMMAND]... |
| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| Run a command in the target element's sandbox environment |
| .PP |
| When this command is executed from a workspace directory, the default |
| is to shell into the workspace element. |
| .PP |
| This will stage a temporary sysroot for running the target |
| element, assuming it has already been built and all required |
| artifacts are in the local cache. |
| .PP |
| Use '--' to separate a command from the options to bst, |
| otherwise bst may respond to them instead. e.g. |
| .PP |
| |
| bst shell example.bst -- df -h |
| .PP |
| Use the --build option to create a temporary sysroot for |
| building the element instead. |
| .PP |
| If no COMMAND is specified, the default is to attempt |
| to run an interactive shell. |
