NAME
       chown - change owner

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/etc/chown [ -f -R ] owner[.group] file ...

DESCRIPTION
       Chown changes the owner of the files to owner.  The owner may be either
       a decimal UID or a login name found in the password file.  An  optional
       group  may also be specified.  The group may be either a decimal GID or
       a group name found in the group-ID file.

       Only the super-user can change owner, in order to  simplify  accounting
       procedures.   No	 errors	 are  reported	when  the -f (force) option is
       given.

       When the -R option is given, chown recursively descends	its  directory
       arguments  setting  the	specified  owner.   When  symbolic  links  are
       encountered, their ownership is changed, but they are not traversed.

FILES
       /etc/passwd
