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, fake‐
       root version 0.0_3, the first version that could be used to build itself.
