NAME

6       faked  -  daemon  that  remembers  fake  ownership/permissions of files
7       manipulated by fakeroot processes.

SYNOPSIS

10       faked [--debug] [--foreground]  [--cleanup]  [--key  msg-key]  [--load]
11       [--save-file save-file] [--port TCP-port]
12

DESCRIPTION

14       If  a  fakeroot  process  wants to change the ownership of a file, then
15       faked is the process that remembers that new owner. If later  the  same
16       fakeroot  process does a stat() for that filename, then the libfakeroot
17       wrapped stat() call will first ask faked for the fake ownership etc  of
18       that file, and then report it.

BUGS

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