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.
