isChroot()

Behind the scenes isChroot() checks whether the inode of / is exactly 2. If this isn't the case and the file system is ext2, ext3 or ext4 then it's likely that the current process is running inside a chroot. Please note that this is only a heuristic and can be improved by considering additional factors.
