NAME
faked - daemon that remembers fake ownership/permissions of files manipulated by fakeroot
processes.
SYNOPSIS
faked [--debug] [--foreground] [--cleanup] [--key msg-key] [--load] [--save-file save-
file] [--port TCP-port]
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 own‐
ership 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
root:root.
--port tcp-port
Use TCP port tcp-port.
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 ver‐
sion that could be used to build itself.
