Package: fakechroot (2.20.1-3.7)

Preloadable library for a fake chroot environment

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.

Versions, suites, and repositories

Each row is recorded package-index metadata for one version, architecture, suite, and repository. Names, URLs, and sizes are source-reported; a link is a potentially mutable retrieval location, not an OpenFactory redistribution claim or proof that OpenFactory retained the artifact bytes.
