[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. + +AUTHOR + Written by David MacKenzie and Jim Meyering. + +REPORTING BUGS + Report bugs to <bug-coreutils@gnu.org>. + +COPYRIGHT + Copyright (C) 2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc. + This is free software; see the source for copying condi- + tions.
