+<usage>
+    <p>This directive, available in httpd 2.2.9(?) and later, tells the
+    server to <var>chroot(8)</var> to the specified directory after
+    startup, but before accepting requests over the 'net.</p>
+    <p>Note that running the server under chroot is not simple,
+    and requires additional setup, particularly if you are running
+    scripts such as CGI or PHP.  Please make sure you are properly
+    familiar with the operation of chroot before attempting to use
+    this feature.</p>
