NAME
faked - daemon that remembers fake ownership/permissions of files manip-
ulated 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 spec-
ified by key. (If the specified channel doesn't exist, it's cre-
ated).
--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.
