Description: Gives a fake root environment
This is a clean reimplementation of the fakeroot command. Just like it,
anything run within the fake root command will assume it is running as root.
Unlike it, fakeroot-ng is not based on LD_PRELOAD but on ptrace.
.
The practical upshot of this is that the technology supports intercepting the
"open" system call. In particular, this allows simulating the "chroot" command
reliably.
.
Another important difference is that fakeroot-ng can fool applications that do
not perform system calls through glibc, such as statically linked executables
and programs written in some non-C languages (like the latest Sun JDK).
