.SH NAME
.PP
toolbox-enter - Enter a toolbox container for interactive use

.SH SYNOPSIS
.PP
\fBtoolbox enter\fP [\fI--distro DISTRO\fP | \fI-d DISTRO\fP]
              [\fI--release RELEASE\fP | \fI-r RELEASE\fP]
              [\fICONTAINER\fP]

.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
Spawns an interactive shell inside a toolbox container that was created using
the \fBtoolbox create\fR command. It tries to spawn the user's default shell, but
if it's not available inside the container then it falls back to \fB/bin/bash\fR\&.

.PP
When invoked without any options, \fBtoolbox enter\fR will try to enter the default
toolbox container for the host, or if there's only one container available then
it will use it. On Fedora, the default container is known as
\fBfedora-toolbox-N\fR, where N is the release of the host. If there aren't any
containers, \fBtoolbox enter\fR will offer to create the default one for you.

.PP
A specific container can be selected using the CONTAINER argument.

.PP
A toolbox container is an OCI container. Therefore, \fBtoolbox enter\fR is
analogous to a \fBpodman start\fR followed by a \fBpodman exec\fR\&.

.SH OPTIONS
.PP
The following options are understood:

.PP
\fB--distro\fP DISTRO, \fB-d\fP DISTRO

.PP
Enter a toolbox container for a different operating system DISTRO than the
host. Has to be coupled with \fB--release\fR unless the selected DISTRO matches the
host.

.PP
\fB--release\fP RELEASE, \fB-r\fP RELEASE

.PP
Enter a toolbox container for a different operating system RELEASE than the
host.
