retitle 294655 Please include obvious implementation details in documentation tag 294655 patch thanks
My request would be satisfied if each of the 4 fakeroot manpages included an ENVIRONMENT section which included both LD_LIBRARY_PATH and LD_PRELOAD. That section should say something such as: ENVIRONMENT LD_LIBRARY_PATH LD_PRELOAD Fakeroot is implemented by wrapping system calls. This is accomplished by setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/fakeroot and LD_PRELOAD=libfakeroot.so.0. That library is loaded before the system's C library, and so most of the library functions are intercepted by it. If you need to set either LD_LIBRARY_PATH or LD_PRELOAD from within a fakeroot environment, it should be set relative to the given paths, as in LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/foo/bar/.
