description
If a fakeroot
process wants to change the ownership of a file, then
faked is the process that remembers that new owner.
If later the same fakeroot process does a stat() for that
filename, then the libfakeroot wrapped stat() call will
first ask faked for the fake ownership etc of that file, and
then report it.
options
--debug
Print debugging information on
stderr.
--foreground
Don’t fork into the
background.
--cleanup
number
Cleanup the semaphores.
--key
key-number
Don’t allocate a new
communication channel, but use channel specified by key. (If
the specified channel doesn’t exist, it’s
created).
--save-file
save-file
Save the environment to
save-file on exit.
--load
Load a previously saved environment from the standard
input.
--unknown-is-real
Use real ownership of
previously-unknown files instead of setting them to

bugs
None so far. Be
warned, though: although I’ve written quite a few much
larger (and smaller) programs, I’ve never written
anything that was as tiny as fakeroot, had as many
bugs as fakeroot, and still was as usable as, say,
fakeroot version 0.0_3, the first version that could
be used to build itself.
