faked-tcp

NAME

faked - daemon that remembers fake ownership/permissions of files manipulated by fakeroot processes.

SYNOPSIS

faked [--debug] [--foreground] [--cleanup] [--key B msg-key ] [--load] [--save-file B save-file ] [--port B 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.
I --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 R fakeroot , had as many bugs as R fakeroot , and still was as usable as, say, R fakeroot version 0.0_3, the first version that could be used to build itself.
