[NAME]
|
|
chown \- change file owner and group
|
|
[DESCRIPTION]
|
|
This manual page
|
|
documents the GNU version of
|
|
.BR chown .
|
|
.B chown
|
|
changes the user and/or group ownership of each given file. If
|
|
only an owner (a user name or numeric user ID) is given, that user is made the
|
|
owner of each given file, and the files' group is not changed. If the
|
|
owner is followed by a colon and a group name (or numeric group ID),
|
|
with no spaces between them, the group ownership of the files is
|
|
changed as well. If a colon but no group name follows the user name,
|
|
that user is made the owner of the files and the group of the files is
|
|
changed to that user's login group. If the colon and group are given,
|
|
but the owner is omitted, only the group of the files is changed;
|
|
in this case,
|
|
.B chown
|
|
performs the same function as
|
|
.BR chgrp .
|
|
If only a colon is given, or if the entire operand is empty, neither the
|
|
owner nor the group is changed.
