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.
Description: Gives a fake root environment
This package is intended to enable something like:
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
i.e. to remove the need to become root for a package build.
This is done by setting LD_PRELOAD to libfakeroot.so,
which provides wrappers around getuid, chown, chmod, mknod,
stat, and so on, thereby creating a fake root environment.
.
fakeroot requires SYSV IPC or TCP to operate.
