1 Fakeroot runs a command in an environment were it appears to have
2 root privileges for file manipulation, by setting LD_PRELOAD to a
3 library with alternative versions of getuid(), stat(), etc. This
4 is useful for allowing users to create archives (tar, ar, .deb .rpm
5 etc.) with files in them with root permissions/ownership.
