+.Sh NAME
+.Nm chown ,
+.Nm fchown
+.Nd change owner and group of a file
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Fd #include <unistd.h>
+.Ft int
+.Fn chown "const char *path" "uid_t owner" "gid_t group"
+.Ft int
+.Fn fchown "int fd" "uid_t owner" "uid_t group"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The owner ID and group ID of the file
+named by
+.Fa path
+or referenced by
+.Fa fd
+is changed as specified by the arguments
+.Fa owner
+and 
+.Fa group .
+The owner of a file may change the
+.Fa group
+to a group of which
+he or she is a member,
+but the change
+.Fa owner
+capability is restricted to the super-user.
+.Pp
+.Fn Chown
+clears the set-user-id and set-group-id bits
+on the file
+to prevent accidental or mischievous creation of
+set-user-id and set-group-id programs.
+.Pp
+.Fn Fchown
+is particularly useful when used in conjunction
+with the file locking primitives (see
+.Xr flock 2 ) .
+.Pp
+One of the owner or group id's
+may be left unchanged by specifying it as -1.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+Zero is returned if the operation was successful;
+-1 is returned if an error occurs, with a more specific
+error code being placed in the global variable
+.Va errno .
+.Sh ERRORS
+.Fn Chown
+will fail and the file will be unchanged if:
+.Bl -tag -width Er
+.It Bq Er ENOTDIR
+A component of the path prefix is not a directory.
+.It Bq Er EINVAL
+The pathname contains a character with the high-order bit set.
+.It Bq Er ENAMETOOLONG
+A component of a pathname exceeded 255 characters,
+or an entire path name exceeded 1023 characters.
+.It Bq Er ENOENT
+The named file does not exist.
+.It Bq Er EACCES
+Search permission is denied for a component of the path prefix.
+.It Bq Er ELOOP
+Too many symbolic links were encountered in translating the pathname.
+.It Bq Er EPERM
+The effective user ID is not the super-user.
+.It Bq Er EROFS
+The named file resides on a read-only file system.
+.It Bq Er EFAULT
+.Fa Path
+points outside the process's allocated address space.
+.It Bq Er EIO
+An I/O error occurred while reading from or writing to the file system.
+.El
+.Pp
+.Fn Fchown
+will fail if:
+.Bl -tag -width Er
+.It Bq Er EBADF
+.Fa Fd
+does not refer to a valid descriptor.
+.It Bq Er EINVAL
+.Fa Fd
+refers to a socket, not a file.
+.It Bq Er EPERM
+The effective user ID is not the super-user.
+.It Bq Er EROFS
