NAME
chown - change owner and group of a file
SYNOPSIS
chown(name, owner, group)
char *name;
DESCRIPTION
The file
whose name is given by the null-terminated string pointed
to by
name
has its
owner
and
group
changed as specified.
Only the super-user may
execute this call,
because if users were able to give files away,
they could defeat the (nonexistent)
file-space accounting procedures.
SEE ALSO
chown(1), passwd(5)
DIAGNOSTICS
Zero is returned if the owner is changed;
-1 is returned
on illegal owner changes.
