chown(1)                   DG/UX 4.30                    chown(1)



     NAME
          chown, chgrp - change owner or group

     SYNOPSIS
          chown owner file ...

          chgrp group file ...

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

          Chgrp changes the group ID of file 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,
          the set-user-ID and set-group-ID bits of the file mode, 4000
          and 2000 respectively, will be cleared.


     EXAMPLES
          $ ls -l testfile

          -rw-rw-rw-   1 intern   other        349 Nov 18 13:26 test_file
          $ chown wilson testfile
          $ ls -l testfile
          -rw-rw-rw-   1 wilson   other        349 Nov 18 13:26 test_file
          $

          Intern, was the original owner of test_file.  After the
          chown command was executed, the new owner becomes wilson.
          Only the current owner of a file or superuser can change the
          owner name.

          $ chgrp 1009 chapter


          If you own a file "chapter", the new group will be the group
          named by the numeric group ID "1009".  "1009" must be a
          valid group ID listed in the /etc/group file.

          $ chgrp work *


          This command changes the group for all the files you own in
          the current directory. The new group will be the group with
          the group name "work."  "Work" must be a valid group name
          listed in the /etc/group file.
