(synopsis "Provides a fake root environment")
(description "@command{fakeroot} runs a command in an environment where
it appears to have root privileges for file manipulation. This is useful
for allowing users to create archives (tar, ar, .deb etc.) with files in
them with root permissions/ownership. Without fakeroot one would have to
have root privileges to create the constituent files of the archives with
the correct permissions and ownership, and then pack them up, or one would
have to construct the archives directly, without using the archiver.")
