NAME

chown - change file owner and group

SYNOPSIS

chown [OPTION]... [OWNER][:[GROUP]] FILE...

chown [OPTION]... --reference=RFILE FILE...

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents the GNU version of chown.  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, chown performs the same function as chgrp.

If only a colon is given, or if the entire operand is empty, neither the owner  nor

the group is changed.

OPTIONS

Change  the  owner  and/or group of each FILE to OWNER and/or GROUP.  With --refer‐

ence, change the owner and group of each FILE to those of RFILE.

-c, --changes

like verbose but report only when a change is made

-f, --silent, --quiet

suppress most error messages

-v, --verbose

output a diagnostic for every file processed

--dereference

affect the referent of each symbolic link (this is the default), rather than

the symbolic link itself

-h, --no-dereference

affect symbolic links instead of any referenced file (useful only on systems

that can change the ownership of a symlink)

--from=CURRENT_OWNER: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

--no-preserve-root

do not treat '/' specially (the default)

--preserve-root

fail to operate recursively on '/'

--reference=RFILE

use RFILE's owner and group rather than specifying OWNER:GROUP values

-R, --recursive

operate on files and directories recursively

The following options modify how a hierarchy is traversed when  the  -R  option  is

also specified.  If more than one is specified, only the final one takes effect.

-H     if a command line argument is a symbolic link to a directory, traverse it

-L     traverse every symbolic link to a directory encountered

-P     do not traverse any symbolic links (default)

--help display this help and exit

--version

output version information and exit

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.

EXAMPLES

chown root /u

Change the owner of /u to "root".

chown root:staff /u

Likewise, but also change its group to "staff".

chown -hR root /u

Change the owner of /u and subfiles to "root".
