+ The Fake Time Preload Library (FTPL, a.k.a. libfaketime) intercepts
+ various system calls which programs use to retrieve the current date and time.
+ It can then report faked dates and times (as specified by you, the user) to
+ these programs. This means you can modify the system time a program sees
+ without having to change the time system-wide. FTPL allows you to specify both
+ absolute dates (e.g., 2004-01-01) and relative dates (e.g., 10 days ago).
