It was generated by help2man 1.35. -.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 -chown root:staff /u -Likewise, but also change its group to "staff". -.TP -chown \fB\-hR\fR root /u -Change the owner of /u and subfiles to "root". -.SH AUTHOR -Written by David MacKenzie and Jim Meyering. -.SH "REPORTING BUGS" -Report chown bugs to bug\-coreutils@gnu.org -.br -GNU coreutils home page: <http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/> -.br -General help using GNU software: <http://www.gnu.org/gethelp/> -.br -Report chown translation bugs to <http://translationproject.org/team/> -.SH COPYRIGHT -Copyright \(co 2012 Free Software Foundation, Inc. -License GPLv3+: GNU GPL version 3 or later <http://gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html>. -.br -This is free software: you are free to change and redistribute it. -There is NO WARRANTY, to the extent permitted by law. -.SH "SEE ALSO" -chown(2) -.PP -The full documentation for -.B chown -is maintained as a Texinfo manual.
