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 . +.Sh OPTIONS |
