 .SH NAME
 unshare \- run program with some namespaces unshared from parent
 .SH SYNOPSIS
 .B unshare
 .RI [ options ]
-program
+.I program
 .RI [ arguments ]
 .SH DESCRIPTION
-Unshares specified namespaces from parent process and then executes specified
-program. Unshareable namespaces are:
+Unshares the indicated namespaces from the parent process and then executes
+the specified program.  The namespaces to be unshared are indicated via
+options.  Unshareable namespaces are:
 .TP
 .BR "mount namespace"
-mounting and unmounting filesystems will not affect rest of the system
+Mounting and unmounting filesystems will not affect the rest of the system
 (\fBCLONE_NEWNS\fP flag), except for filesystems which are explicitly marked as
-shared (by mount --make-shared). See /proc/self/mountinfo for the shared flags.
+shared (with \fBmount --make-shared\fP; see \fI/proc/self/mountinfo\fP for the
+\fBshared\fP flags).
+
+It's recommended to use \fBmount --make-rprivate\fP or \fBmount --make-rslave\fP
+after \fBunshare --mount\fP to make sure that mountpoints in the new namespace
+are really unshared from parental namespace.
 .TP
 .BR "UTS namespace"
-setting hostname, domainname will not affect rest of the system
-(\fBCLONE_NEWUTS\fP flag).
+Setting hostname or domainname will not affect the rest of the system.
+(\fBCLONE_NEWUTS\fP flag)
 .TP
 .BR "IPC namespace"
-process will have independent namespace for System V message queues, semaphore
-sets and shared memory segments (\fBCLONE_NEWIPC\fP flag).
+The process will have an independent namespace for System V message queues,
+semaphore sets and shared memory segments.  (\fBCLONE_NEWIPC\fP flag)
 .TP
 .BR "network namespace"
-process will have independent IPv4 and IPv6 stacks, IP routing tables, firewall
-rules, the \fI/proc/net\fP and \fI/sys/class/net\fP directory trees, sockets
-etc. (\fBCLONE_NEWNET\fP flag).
+The process will have independent IPv4 and IPv6 stacks, IP routing tables,
+firewall rules, the \fI/proc/net\fP and \fI/sys/class/net\fP directory trees,
+sockets, etc.  (\fBCLONE_NEWNET\fP flag)
 .TP
 .BR "pid namespace"
-children will have a distinct set of pid to process mappings than their parent.
-(\fBCLONE_NEWPID\fP flag).
+Children will have a distinct set of PID to process mappings from their parent.
+(\fBCLONE_NEWPID\fP flag)
 .PP
-See the \fBclone\fR(2) for exact semantics of the flags.

+.TP
+.BR \-m , " \-\-mount"
+Unshare the mount namespace.
 .TP
 .BR \-n , " \-\-net"
 Unshare the network namespace.
 .TP
 .BR \-p , " \-\-pid"
 Unshare the pid namespace.
+See also the \fB--fork\fP and \fB--mount-proc\fP options.
+.TP
+.BR \-u , " \-\-uts"
+Unshare the UTS namespace.
+.TP
+.BR \-f , " \-\-fork"
+Fork the specified \fIprogram\fR as a child process of \fBunshare\fR rather than
+running it directly.  This is useful when creating a new pid namespace.
+.TP
+.BR \-\-mount-proc "[=\fImountpoint\fP]"
+Just before running the program, mount the proc filesystem at the \fImountpoint\fP
+(default is /proc).  This is useful when creating a new pid namespace.  It also
+implies creating a new mount namespace since the /proc mount would otherwise
+mess up existing programs on the system. The new proc filesystem is explicitly
+mounted as private (by MS_PRIVATE|MS_REC).
