faked - daemon that remembers fake ownership/permissions of files manipulated by fakeroot processes.
Contents
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.
Copying
fakeroot is distributed under the GNU General Public License. (GPL 2.0 or greater).
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.
