This is fairly simple (relatively speaking) to implement, and is equivalent of placing a hook between the program and the runtime library. Among other disadvantages, LD_PRELOAD is unable to track system calls performed by statically compiled files.</ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td class="diff-marker" data-marker="−"></td><td style="color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #ffe49c; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div><del style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">* </del>[https://<del style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">www</del>.<del style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">mediawiki</del>.<del style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">org</del>/<del style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">wiki</del>/<del style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Special:MyLanguage</del>/<del style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Manual:FAQ MediaWiki FAQ</del>]</div></td><td class="diff-marker" data-marker="+"></td><td style="color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div> </div></td></tr> <tr><td class="diff-marker" data-marker="−"></td><td style="color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #ffe49c; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div><del style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">* </del>[<del style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">https</del>://<del style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">lists</del>.<del style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">wikimedia</del>.<del style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">org/postorius/lists/mediawiki</del>-<del style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">announce</del>.<del style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">lists</del>.<del style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">wikimedia</del>.<del style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">org</del>/ <del style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">MediaWiki release </del>mailing list<del style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">]</del></div></td><td class="diff-marker" data-marker="+"></td><td style="color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div><ins style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Fakeroot-ng, on the other hand, uses the PTRACE mechanism, the mechanism used by debuggers, to track the program's system calls. This is equivalent of placing a hook between the user space and the kernel. It is not possible to bypass the monitoring performed by fakeroot-ng, even if one attempts to do so on purpose. The down side is that the hooks themselves are much more platform dependent, and are more difficult to program and debug.</ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td class="diff-marker" data-marker="−"></td><td style="color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #ffe49c; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div><del style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">* </del>[https://www.<del style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">mediawiki</del>.<del style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">org</del>/<del style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">wiki</del>/<del style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Special:MyLanguage</del>/<del style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Localisation#Translation_resources Localise MediaWiki </del>for <del style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">your language</del>]</div></td><td class="diff-marker" data-marker="+"></td><td style="color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div> </div></td></tr> <tr><td class="diff-marker" data-marker="−"></td><td style="color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #ffe49c; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div><del style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">* </del>[https://<del style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">www</del>.<del style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">mediawiki</del>.<del style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">org</del>/<del style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Combating_spam Learn how to combat spam on your wiki</del>]</div></td><td class="diff-marker" data-marker="+"></td><td style="color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div><ins style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">More details about the technical differences between LD_PRELOAD and PTRACE system calls monitoring can be found in the [[PTRACE LD_PRELOAD comparison]] page.</ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2" class="diff-side-deleted"></td><td class="diff-marker" data-marker="+"></td><td style="color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div> </div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2" class="diff-side-deleted"></td><td class="diff-marker" data-marker="+"></td><td style="color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div><ins style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">==Functional differences between Fakeroot and Fakeroot-ng==</ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2" class="diff-side-deleted"></td><td class="diff-marker" data-marker="+"></td><td style="color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div><ins style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">On the functional level, there are many differences between fakeroot and fakeroot-ng. Some of these differences are a result of the different technologies used by the two programs, and some are more derivatives of the above. The differences cover such areas as default ownership of unknown files, handling of SUID executables and chroot support.

This is equivalent of placing a hook between the user space and the kernel. It is not possible to bypass the monitoring performed by fakeroot-ng, even if one attempts to do so on purpose.

This is equivalent of placing a hook between the user space and the kernel. It is not possible to bypass the monitoring performed by fakeroot-ng, even if one attempts to do so on purpose. The down side is that the hooks themselves are much more platform dependent, and are more difficult to program and debug.</ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td class="diff-marker" data-marker="−"></td><td style="color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #ffe49c; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div><del style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">* </del>[https://www.<del style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">mediawiki</del>.<del style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">org</del>/<del style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">wiki</del>/<del style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Special:MyLanguage</del>/<del style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Localisation#Translation_resources Localise MediaWiki </del>for <del style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">your language</del>]</div></td><td class="diff-marker" data-marker="+"></td><td style="color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div> </div></td></tr> <tr><td class="diff-marker" data-marker="−"></td><td style="color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #ffe49c; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div><del style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">* </del>[https://<del style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">www</del>.<del style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">mediawiki</del>.<del style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">org</del>/<del style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Combating_spam Learn how to combat spam on your wiki</del>]</div></td><td class="diff-marker" data-marker="+"></td><td style="color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div><ins style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">More details about the technical differences between LD_PRELOAD and PTRACE system calls monitoring can be found in the [[PTRACE LD_PRELOAD comparison]] page.</ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2" class="diff-side-deleted"></td><td class="diff-marker" data-marker="+"></td><td style="color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div> </div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2" class="diff-side-deleted"></td><td class="diff-marker" data-marker="+"></td><td style="color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div><ins style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">==Functional differences between Fakeroot and Fakeroot-ng==</ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2" class="diff-side-deleted"></td><td class="diff-marker" data-marker="+"></td><td style="color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div><ins style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">On the functional level, there are many differences between fakeroot and fakeroot-ng.
