-.TH CHOWN "1" "May 2012" "GNU coreutils 8.17" "User Commands"
-.SH NAME
-chown \- change file owner and group
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B chown
-[\fIOPTION\fR]... [\fIOWNER\fR][\fI:\fR[\fIGROUP\fR]] \fIFILE\fR...
-.br
-.B chown
-[\fIOPTION\fR]... \fI--reference=RFILE FILE\fR...
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-This manual page
-documents the GNU version of
-.BR chown .
-.B chown
-changes the user and/or group ownership of each given file. If
-only an owner (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
-owner is followed by a colon 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 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 and group are given,
-but the owner is omitted, only the group of the files is changed;
-in this case,
-.B chown
-performs the same function as
-.BR chgrp .
-If only a colon is given, or if the entire operand is empty, neither the
-owner nor the group is changed.
-.SH OPTIONS
-.PP
-Change the owner and/or group of each FILE to OWNER and/or GROUP.
-With \fB\-\-reference\fR, change the owner and group of each FILE to those of RFILE.
-.TP
-\fB\-c\fR, \fB\-\-changes\fR
-like verbose but report only when a change is made
-.TP
-\fB\-f\fR, \fB\-\-silent\fR, \fB\-\-quiet\fR
-suppress most error messages
-.TP
-\fB\-v\fR, \fB\-\-verbose\fR
-output a diagnostic for every file processed
-.TP
-\fB\-\-dereference\fR
-affect the referent of each symbolic link (this is
-the default), rather than the symbolic link itself
-.TP
-\fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-no\-dereference\fR
-affect symbolic links instead of any referenced file
-(useful only on systems that can change the
-ownership of a symlink)
-.TP
-\fB\-\-from\fR=\fICURRENT_OWNER\fR: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
-.TP
-\fB\-\-no\-preserve\-root\fR
-do not treat '/' specially (the default)
-.TP
-\fB\-\-preserve\-root\fR
-fail to operate recursively on '/'
-.TP
-\fB\-\-reference\fR=\fIRFILE\fR
-use RFILE's owner and group rather than
-specifying OWNER:GROUP values
-.TP
-\fB\-R\fR, \fB\-\-recursive\fR
-operate on files and directories recursively
-.PP
-The following options modify how a hierarchy is traversed when the \fB\-R\fR
-option is also specified. If more than one is specified, only the final
-one takes effect.
-.TP
-\fB\-H\fR
-if a command line argument is a symbolic link
-to a directory, traverse it
-.TP
-\fB\-L\fR
-traverse every symbolic link to a directory
-encountered
-.TP
-\fB\-P\fR
-do not traverse any symbolic links (default)
-.TP
-\fB\-\-help\fR
-display this help and exit
-.TP
-\fB\-\-version\fR
-output version information and exit
-.PP
-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.
-.SH EXAMPLES
-.TP
-chown root /u
-Change the owner of /u to "root".
-.TP
