Description:
tool for simulating superuser privileges
fakeroot provides a fake "root environment" by means of LD_PRELOAD and SysV IPC (or TCP) trickery. It puts wrappers around getuid(), chown(), stat(), and other file-manipulation functions, so that unprivileged users can (for instance) populate .deb archives with root-owned files; various build tools use fakeroot for this by default. . This package contains fakeroot command and the daemon that remembers fake ownership/permissions of files manipulated by fakeroot processes.
Version: 1.22-2ubuntu1
