FakeTime Preload Library 0.6 (Default branch) |
|
|
FTPL (FakeTime Preload Library) intercepts various
system library calls and tricks programs of your
choice into seeing a faked system time, without
having to change the time system-wide. This can be
used for running legacy software with Y2K bugs,
testing software for year-2038 compliance,
debugging time-related issues, and using software
which ceases to run outside a certain timeframe.
The faked time can be specified either absolutely
or relative to the real current time.

Changes:
This release adds support for file timestamp
faking by intercepting system calls such as
fstat(), support for a system-wide /etc/faketimerc
configuration file, and caching for performance
improvements.
