Project Summary

Fakeroot Next Gen uses the debugger (PTRACE) interface to trick a program into thinking it is running as root. The basic concept is the same as with fakeroot, but the different interface allows more control over the tricked program, allowing fakeroot-ng to go where fakeroot would not.
