    NAME
         chown - change owner

    SYNOPSIS
         chown owner file ...

    DESCRIPTION
         The user-ID of the files is changed to owner.  The owner may
         be either a decimal UID or a login name found in  the  pass-
         word file.

         Only  the  super-user  is  allowed  to change the owner of a
         file, in order to simplify as yet  unimplemented  accounting
         procedures.

    FILES
         /etc/passwd
