NAME              chown -- change owner of file

SYNOPSIS          sys        chown; name; owner          / chown = 16.

DESCRIPTION       The file whose name is given by the null--terminated string
                  pointed to by name has its owner changed to owner. Only
                  the present owner of a file (or the super--user) may donate
                  the file to another user. Also, one may not change the
                  owner of a file with the set--user--ID bit on, otherwise one
                  could create Trojan Horses able to misuse other's files.
