That doesn't really explain anything, what does it really do?

echroot extends the basic options that we found in chroot, with echroot we
can control many more options than executing chroot. Here I show some of the
options that we can happen to echroot.
For example:
mkdir ~/MOUNT
Mount another linux partition in ~/MOUNT
mount /dev/sda1 ~/MOUNT
with chroot
---> chroot ~/MOUNT /usr/bin/mc
Run mc of /dev/sda1 in root
with echroot
---> echroot --user=YOURUSER --group=YOURGROUP --stderr=YOURFILE
~/MOUNT /usr/bin/mc
Run mc of /dev/sda1 in root and set the UID of the process to YOURUSER,
the GID of the process to YOURGROUP, redirect STDERR to YOURFILE, etc ....
The output of man echroot command.
