+NAME
+ chown - change file owner and group
+
+SYNOPSIS
+ chown [OPTION]... [OWNER][:[GROUP]] FILE...
+ chown [OPTION]... --reference=RFILE 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
+ Change the owner and/or group of each FILE to OWNER
+ and/or GROUP. With --reference, change the owner and
+ group of each FILE to those of RFILE.
+
+ -c, --changes
+ like verbose but report only when a change is
+ made
+
+ --dereference
+ affect the referent of each symbolic link, rather
+ than the symbolic link itself (this is the
+ default)
+
+ -h, --no-dereference
+ affect each symbolic link instead of any refer-
+ enced file (useful only on systems that can
+ change the ownership of a symlink)
+
+ --from=CURRENT_OWNER:CURRENT_GROUP
+ change the owner and/or group of each file only
+ if its current owner and/or group match those
+ specified here. Either may be omitted, in which
+ case a match is not required for the omitted
+ attribute.
+
+ --no-preserve-root do not treat `/' specially (the
+ default)
+
+ --preserve-root
+ fail to operate recursively on `/'
+
+ -f, --silent, --quiet
+ suppress most error messages
+
+ --reference=RFILE
+ use RFILE's owner and group rather than the spec-
+ ifying OWNER:GROUP values
+
+ -R, --recursive
+ operate on files and directories recursively
+
+ -v, --verbose
+ output a diagnostic for every file processed
+
+ The following options modify how a hierarchy is tra-
+ versed when the -R option is also specified. If more
+ than one is specified, only the final one takes effect.
+
+ -H if a command line argument is a symbolic link to
+ a directory, traverse it
+
+ -L traverse every symbolic link to a directory
+ encountered
+
+ -P do not traverse any symbolic links (default)
+
+ --help display this help and exit
+
+ --version
+ output version information and exit
+
+ Owner is unchanged if missing. Group is unchanged if
+ missing, but changed to login group if implied by a `:'
+ following a symbolic OWNER. OWNER and GROUP may be
+ numeric as well as symbolic.
