+=head1 NAME
+
+dpkg-statoverride - override ownership and mode of files
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+B<dpkg-statoverride>
+[I<option>...] I<command>
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+“B<stat overrides>” are a way to tell
+L<dpkg(1)>
+to use a different owner
+or mode for a path when a package is installed (this applies to any
+filesystem object that
+B<dpkg>
+handles, including directories, devices, etc.).
+This can be used to
+force programs that are normally setuid to be install without a setuid
+flag, or only executable by a certain group.
+
+B<dpkg-statoverride> is a utility to manage the list of stat
+overrides.
+It has three basic functions: adding, removing and listing
+overrides.
+
+=head1 COMMANDS
+
+=over
+
+=item B<--add> I<user group mode path>
+
+Add an override for I<path>.
+I<path> does not need to exist nor be known to
+B<dpkg> when this command is used; the override will be stored and used later.
+Users and groups can be specified by their name (for example B<root>
+or B<nobody>), or by their number by prepending the number with a
+‘B<#>’ (for example B<#0> or B<#65534>).
+The I<mode> needs to be specified in octal.
+
+If B<--update> is specified and I<path> exists, it is immediately
+set to the new owner and mode.
+
+=item B<--remove> I<path>
+
+Remove an override for I<path>, the status of I<path> is left
+unchanged by this command.
+
+=item B<--list> [I<glob-pattern>]
+
+List all overrides.
+If a glob pattern is specified restrict the output
+to overrides which match the glob.
+
+=item B<--help>
+
+Show the usage message and exit.
+
+=item B<--force-help>
+
+Give help about the B<--force->I<thing> options (since dpkg 1.19.5).
+
+=item B<--version>
+
+Show the version and exit.
+
+=back
+
+=head1 OPTIONS
+
+=over
+
+=item B<--admindir> I<directory>
+
+Set the administrative directory to I<directory>.
+This is where the I<statoverride> file is stored.
+Defaults to «I<%ADMINDIR%>» if B<DPKG_ADMINDIR> has not been set.
+
+=item B<--instdir> I<directory>
+
+Set the installation directory, which refers to the directory where
+packages get installed (since dpkg 1.19.2).
+Defaults to «I</>» if B<DPKG_ROOT> has not been set.
+
+=item B<--root> I<directory>
+
+Set the root directory to B<directory>, which sets the installation
+directory to «I<directory>» and the administrative
+directory to «I<directory>B<%ADMINDIR%>» (since dpkg 1.19.2)
+if B<DPKG_ROOT> has not been set.
+
+=item B<--force->I<things>
+
+=item B<--no-force->I<things>, B<--refuse->I<things>
+
+Force or refuse (B<no-force> and B<refuse> mean the same thing)
+to do some things (since dpkg 1.19.5).
+I<things> is a comma separated list of things specified below.
+B<--force-help> displays a message describing them.
+Things marked with (*) are forced by default.
+
+B<Warning>: These options are mostly intended to be used by experts only.
+Using them without fully understanding their effects may break your whole
+system.
+
+=over 4
+
+=item B<all>:
+
+Turns on (or off) all force options.
+
+=item B<statoverride-add>:
+
+Overwrite an existing stat override when adding it (since dpkg 1.19.5).
+
+=item B<statoverride-remove>:
+
+Ignore a missing stat override when removing it (since dpkg 1.19.5).
+
+=item B<security-mac>(*):
+
+Use platform-specific Mandatory Access Controls (MAC) based security when
+installing files into the filesystem (since dpkg 1.19.5).
+On Linux systems the implementation uses SELinux.
+
+=item B<not-root>:
+
+Try to (de)install things even when not root (since dpkg 1.21.8).
+
+=back
+
+=item B<--force>
+
+Force an action, even if a sanity check would otherwise prohibit it.
+This is necessary to override an existing override.
+This option is deprecated (since dpkg 1.19.5), it is replaced by
+B<--force-all>.
+
+=item B<--update>
+
+Immediately try to change the I<path> to the new owner and mode if it
+exists.
+
+=item B<--quiet>
+
+Be less verbose about what we do.
+
+=back
+
+=head1 EXIT STATUS
+
+=over
+
+=item B<0>
+
+The requested action was successfully performed.
+
+=item B<1>
+
+For B<--list>, if there are no overrides or none match the supplied
+glob.
+
+=item B<2>
+
+Fatal or unrecoverable error due to invalid command-line usage, or
+interactions with the system, such as accesses to the database,
+memory allocations, etc.
+
+=back
+
+=head1 ENVIRONMENT
+
+=over
+
+=item B<DPKG_ROOT>
+
+If set and the B<--instdir> or B<--root> options have not been
+specified, it will be used as the filesystem root directory
+(since dpkg 1.19.2).
+
+=item B<DPKG_ADMINDIR>
+
+If set and the B<--admindir> or B<--root> options have not been
+specified, it will be used as the B<dpkg> data directory.
+
+=item B<DPKG_DEBUG>
+
+Sets the debug mask (since dpkg 1.21.10) from an octal value.
+The currently accepted flags are described in the B<dpkg --debug> option,
+but not all these flags might have an effect on this program.
+
+=item B<DPKG_FORCE>
+
+If set and none of the B<--force->I<...> options have been
+specified, it will be used as the force options to use (since dpkg 1.19.5).
+
+=item B<DPKG_COLORS>
+
+Sets the color mode (since dpkg 1.18.5).
+The currently accepted values are: B<auto> (default), B<always> and
+B<never>.
+
+=back
+
+=head1 FILES
+
+=over
+
+=item I<%ADMINDIR%/statoverride>
+
+File which contains the current list of stat overrides of the system.
+It
+is located in the B<dpkg> administration directory, along with other files
+important to B<dpkg>, such as I<status> or I<available>.
+
+B<Note>: B<dpkg-statoverride> preserves the old copy of this file, with
+extension “-old”, before replacing it with the new one.
