NAME
     faked  -  daemon that remembers fake ownership/permissions of files manipu-
     lated 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 speci-
	    fied by key.  (If the specified channel  doesn't  exist,  it's  cre-
	    ated).

     --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 it-
     self.

COPYING
     fakeroot is distributed under the GNU General Public License.  (GPL 2.0  or
     greater).
