Package: libfakeroot (1.23-1)

[ Source: fakeroot  ]

tool for simulating superuser privileges - shared libraries

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 .deb archives with root-owned files; various build tools use fakeroot for this by default.

This package contains the LD_PRELOAD libraries.
