Project Description

FTPL (FakeTime Preload Library, aka libfaketime) 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 such as expired SSL certificates, and using software that ceases to run outside a certain time frame. The faked time can be specified either absolutely or relative to the real current time, and optionally also affects file timestamps. The faked clock continues to run, but can optionally be frozen, slowed down, or made faster. A wrapper script "faketime" simplifies the usage, similar to tools such as fakechroot.

v0.9

This release adds improved support for Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion). It also provides several new features on all supported operating systems to limit libfaketime's activities, e.g., to only a certain time interval; and to execute external programs, e.g., shell scripts, at a specified point during run-time.
