Description-en: advanced tool for simulating superuser privileges
The pseudo utility offers a way to run commands in a virtualized "root"
environment, allowing ordinary users to run commands which give the
illusion of creating device nodes, changing file ownership, and otherwise doing
things necessary for creating distribution packages or filesystems.
.
Pseudo has a lot of similarities to fakeroot but is a new implementation
that improves on the problems seen using fakeroot. Pseudo is now
extensively used by Poky as a replacement to fakeroot but can also be
used standalone in many other use cases.
