NAME +

chown - change the user and group ownership of files + +

SYNOPSIS +

chown [-Rcfv] [--recursive] [--changes] [--help] [--ver- + sion] [--silent] [--quiet] [--verbose] [user][:.][group] + file... + +

DESCRIPTION +

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. + + OPTIONS + -c, --changes + Verbosely describe only files whose ownership actu- + ally changes. + + -f, --silent, --quiet + Do not print error messages about files whose own- + ership cannot be changed. + + -v, --verbose + Verbosely describe ownership changes. + + -R, --recursive + Recursively change ownership of directories and + their contents. + + --help Print a usage message on standard output and exit + successfully. + + --version + Print version information on standard output then + exit successfully. + + + + + + + + + + +
