chown

chown(1B)					     SunOS/BSD Compatibility Package Commands						 chown(1B)

NAME

       chown - change owner

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/ucb/chown [-fR] owner[.group] filename...

DESCRIPTION

       chown  changes  the  owner of the filenames to owner. The owner can be either a decimal user ID (UID) or a login name found in the password
       file. An optional group can also be specified. The group can be either a decimal group ID (GID) or a group name found in the GID file.

       In the default case, only the super-user of the machine where  the file is physically located can change the owner. The	system	configura-
       tion  option {_POSIX_CHOWN_RESTRICTED} and the privileges PRIV_FILE_CHOWN and PRIV_FILE_CHOWN_SELF also affect who can change the ownership
       of a file. See chown(2) and privileges(5).

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -f    Do not report errors.

       -R    Recursively descend into directories setting the ownership of all files in  each  directory  encountered.	When  symbolic	links  are
	     encountered, their ownership is changed, but they are not traversed.

USAGE

       See largefile(5) for the description of the behavior of chown when encountering files greater than or equal to 2 Gbyte ( 2^31 bytes).

FILES

       /etc/passwd    Password file

ATTRIBUTES
