This documentation is no longer being maintained and may be
inaccurate or incomplete. The Texinfo documentation is now
the authoritative source.
This manual page documents the GNU version of cccchhhhoooowwwwnnnn. cccchhhhoooowwwwnnnn
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, cccchhhhoooowwwwnnnn performs the same
function as cccchhhhggggrrrrpppp.
