chown - change file owner / group
|
|
|
|
## Synopsis
|
|
|
|
```**sh
|
|
$ chown [user][:group] files...
|
|
```
|

|
## Description
|
|

group.

|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
# Change 'file' owner and group to 'anon':
|
|
$ chown anon:anon file
|
|
|
|
# Change 'file' owner to 'root', leave group unchanged:
|
|
# chown root file
|
|
```
