| .SH NAME |
| faked \- daemon that remembers fake ownership/permissions of files |
| manipulated by fakeroot processes. |
| .SH SYNOPSIS |
| .B faked |
| .B [\-\-debug] [\-\-foreground] [\-\-cleanup] [\-\-key |
| .IB msg-key ] |
| .B [\-\-load] [\-\-save-file |
| .IB save-file ] |
| .B [\-\-port |
| .IB TCP-port ] |
| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| If a fakeroot process wants to change the ownership of a file, then |
| .B 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. |
| |

| .SH 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 |
| .BR fakeroot , |
| had as many bugs as |
| .BR fakeroot , |
| and still was as usable as, say, |
| .BR fakeroot |
| version 0.0_3, the first version that could be used to build itself. |
