chown
[options
]newowner
files
Change the ownership of one or more files
to newowner
.
(Note: The BSD version lets you change the group as well.)
newowner
is either a user ID number or a login name located in
/etc/passwd.
Change the owner on symbolic links. Normally, chown acts on the
file referenced
by a symbolic link, not on the link itself.
Recursively descend through the directory, including subdirectories and symbolic links, resetting the ownership ID.
