+
+<h3>NAME
+</h3> chown - change the user and group ownership of files
+
+<h3>SYNOPSIS
+</h3> chown [-Rcfv] [--recursive] [--changes] [--help] [--ver-
+ sion] [--silent] [--quiet] [--verbose] [user][:.][group]
+ file...
+
+<h3>DESCRIPTION
+</h3> This manual page documents the GNU version of chown.
+ chown changes the user and/or group ownership of each
+ given file, according to its first non-option argument,
+ which is interpreted as follows. If only 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 user name is followed by a colon or dot 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 or dot 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
+ or dot and group are given, but the user name is omitted,
+ only the group of the files is changed; in this case,
+ chown performs the same function as chgrp.
+

+ ally changes.

+ ership cannot be changed.
