Upstream URL : https://github.com/dex4er/fakechroot/wiki
Summary : Preloadable library for a fake chroot environment
Description :
fakechroot runs a command in an environment where it is possible to use the
chroot(8) command without root privileges. This is useful for allowing users to
create own chrooted environments with the possibility to install other packages
without the need for root privileges.
fakechroot does this by replacing some libc library functions (chroot(2),
open(2), etc.) by ones that simulate the effect of being called with root
privileges.
These wrapper functions are in a shared library called libfakechroot.so, which
can be loaded through the LD_PRELOAD mechanism of the dynamic loader.
