NAME

oschown − change the owner of an ObjectStore directory or database

SYNOPSIS

oschown [ -R ][ -f ] owner[.group] pathname... 

DESCRIPTION

oschown changes the owner of the directories or databases given in pathname as arguments to owner. The owner is a user name found in the password file, /etc/passwd.  Only the super-user may change the owner of a directory or database. 

oschown can perform wild card processing similar to shell wild cards (∗, ?, {}, and []).  You must quote the wild card with quotation marks ("") or a backslash (\) to keep the shell from misinterpreting the asterisk as a shell wildcard. 

oschown supports all the arguments of the command chown.  -f and -R are identical to the shell chown command’s force and recursive options, respectively. It accepts a combination of Directory Manager pathnames and file pathnames.
