# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.
# Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and
# the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.
# You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also
# customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines.

fakeroot:
fakeroot: Fakeroot makes it possible to run commands in an environment
fakeroot: faking root privileges.  This is done by setting LD_PRELOAD
fakeroot: to libfakeroot.so, which provides wrappers around getuid,
fakeroot: chown, chmod, mknod, stat, and so on, thereby creating a fake
fakeroot: root environment.
