-UID wrapper library
-====================
+UID_WRAPPER
+===========
-This library intercepts seteuid and related calls, and simulates them
-in a manner similar to the nss_wrapper and socket_wrapper libraries.
+This is a wrapper for the user, group and hosts NSS API.
-This allows you to do user switching when testing e.g. file servers.
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
-To use it set the following environment variables:
+More details can be found in the manpage:
-LD_PRELOAD=libuid_wrapper.so
-UID_WRAPPER=1
+ man -l ./doc/uid_wrapper.1
-If you unset the variable or set it to 0 you can disable uwrap even if it is
-loaded. If you need the application to think it is root at startup you can set:
+or the raw text version:
-UID_WRAPPER_ROOT=1
+ less ./doc/uid_wrapper.1.txt
-If you set the environment variable to UID_WRAPPER_ROOT=2 before you call
-geteuid() then it will return the real uid.
+For installation instructions please take a look at the README.install file.
