chown(1)                                                 chown(1)



     NAME
          chown, chgrp - change owner or group

     SYNOPSIS
          chown owner file ...
          chgrp group file ...

     DESCRIPTION
          chown changes the owner of the files to owner.  The owner
          may be either a decimal user ID or a login name found in the
          password file.

          chgrp changes the group ID of the files to group.  The group
          may be either a decimal group ID or a group name found in
          the group file.

          If either command is invoked by other than the super-user,
          and the files specified are either local or remoted mounted
          from another System V system, the set-user ID and set-group
          ID bits of the file mode, 04000 and 02000 respectively, will
          be cleared.

     EXAMPLE
               chown doc filea fileb filec

          would make doc the owner of the three files.

     FILES
          /bin/chown
