The minchown program
minchown changes the owner and group of a file.
Interface
minchown [ -U ] [ -u uid ] [ -g gid ] file
- minchown changes file's owner to numerical uid uid
and group to numerical gid gid. If uid or gid is
not given, the default is to perform no change.
- minchown exits 100 on a misuse and 111 on a temporary error.
Options
- -u uid : change uid to uid.
- -g gid : change gid to gid.
- -U : read uid and gid from the
UID and GID environment variables. This is useful
to use minchown with a program like
envuidgid.
