- This manual page documents the GNU version of c✓ch✓ho✓ow✓wn✓n.
- c✓ch✓ho✓ow✓wn✓n changes the user and/or group ownership of each
- given file, according to its first non-option argument,
- which is interpreted as follows. If only 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 user name is followed by a colon or dot 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 or dot 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
- or dot and group are given, but the user name is omitted,
- only the group of the files is changed; in this case,
- c✓ch✓ho✓ow✓wn✓n performs the same function as c✓ch✓hg✓gr✓rp✓p.
