## Name
chown - change file owner / group
## Synopsis
```**sh
$ chown [user][:group] files...
```
## Description
`chown` changes the owner of specified files to `user`, and owning group to `group`. If `group` is not specified, it is left unchanged.
**NOTE**: The caller must be a superuser to change user ownership. Other users can use `chown` to change the group to one of their other
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
```
