In this single case all spawned processes will use the same global clock without restarting it at the start of each process. +Please note that using "x" or "i" in FAKETIME still requires giving an offset +(see section 4d). This means that "+1y x2" will work, but "x2" only will not. +If you do not want to fake the time, but just modify clock speed, use something +like "+0 x2", i.e., use an explizit zero offset as a prefix in your FAKETIME. + For testing, your should run a command like LD_PRELOAD=./libfaketime.so.1 FAKETIME="+1,5y x10,0" \ |
