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 fake‐‐
       root,  and  still was as usable as, say, fakeroot version 0.0_3, the first version that could
       be used to build itself.
