NAME
Fchown - change a file's ownership
SYNOPSIS
LONG Fchown( char *name, WORD uid, WORD gid );
DESCRIPTION
Fchown
changes a file's user and group ownership to
uid
and
gid
respectively. These ownerships determine access rights to the file.
Only a process with effective uid 0 or whose effective uid matches
the user ownership of the file may make this call. In the latter case,
the new
uid
must match the old one, and the calling process must also be a member
of the group specified by
gid .
RETURNS
0 on success
EACCDN if the calling process has an effective uid which differs from the
owner of the file and which is not 0.
EFILNF if the file is not found
EPTHNF if the path to the file is not found.
SEE ALSO
Fchmod(2),
Fxattr(2)
BUGS
In practice, the call is useful only to processes with effective uid 0.
