.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.LP 
Mock is a simple chroot/rpm building program. It doesn't do anything
terribly fancy other than populate a chroot with the contents
specified by a configuration file, then build any input SRPM(s) in
that chroot. 
.LP
The content of a chroot is specified by the configuration
specified with the \fB\-r\fR option. A default configuration file is
specified in /etc/mock/default.cfg, which is usually a symlink to one
of the installed configurations.
