- _C_h_o_w_n changes the owner of the _f_i_l_e_s to _o_w_n_e_r. The owner
- may be either a decimal UID or a login name found in the
- password file. An optional group may also be specified.
- The group may be either a decimal GID or a group name found
- in the group-ID file.
-
- Only the super-user can change owner, in order to simplify
- accounting procedures. No errors, except for usage errors,
- are reported when the --ff (force) option is given.
-
- When the --RR option is given, _c_h_o_w_n recursively descends its
- directory arguments setting the specified owner. When sym-
- bolic links are encountered, their ownership is changed, but
- they are not traversed.
