+[DESCRIPTION]
+This manual page
+documents the GNU version of
+.BR chown .
+.B chown
+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,
+.B chown
+performs the same function as
+.BR chgrp .
