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.
