Description: tool for simulating superuser privileges - documentation
 fakeroot provides a fake "root environment" by means of LD_PRELOAD and SysV IPC
 (or TCP) trickery. It puts wrappers around getuid(), chown(), stat(), and other
 file-manipulation functions, so that unprivileged users can (for instance)
 populate .opk archives with root-owned files; various build tools use fakeroot
 for this by default.
 .
 This package provides manual pages for the fakeroot tool.
