Fair enough but semantics I'd argue and if you're going to be picky I'll play ;-)
From the FreeBSD documentation (https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/jails.html)
"Jails improve on the concept of the traditional chroot environment in several ways. In a traditional chroot environment, processes are only limited in the part of the file system they can access. The rest of the system resources, system users, running processes, and the networking subsystem are shared by the chrooted processes and the processes of the host system. Jails expand this model by virtualizing access to the file system, the set of users, and the networking subsystem. More fine-grained controls are available for tuning the access of a jailed environment. Jails can be considered as a type of operating system-level virtualization."
Iocage docs (http://iocage.readthedocs.io/en/latest/faq.html):
"What is iocage?
iocage is a jail management program designed to simplify jail administration tasks.
What is a jail?
A Jail is a FreeBSD OS virtualization technology allowing users to run multiple copies of the operating system. Some operating systems use the term Zones or Containers for OS virtualization."
Anyway I'll go back to my corner. ;-)
