faked(1)
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 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 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 version that could be used
to build itself.
