   USAGE:
              /build/rust-coreutils-mQkL0l/rust-coreutils-0.0.14/debian/tmp/usr/bin/chown
              [OPTION]...                        [OWNER][:[GROUP]]                        FILE...
              /build/rust-coreutils-mQkL0l/rust-coreutils-0.0.14/debian/tmp/usr/bin/chown
              [OPTION]... --reference=RFILE FILE...

   ARGS:
              <OWNER> <FILE>...

   OPTIONS:
       -c, --changes

              like verbose but report only when a change is made

       --dereference

              affect  the  referent  of each symbolic link (this is the default), rather than the
              symbolic link itself

       -f, --silent

       --from <CURRENT_OWNER:CURRENT_GROUP>

              change the owner and/or group of each file only if its current owner  and/or  group
              match  those  specified  here.  Either may be omitted, in which case a match is not
              required for the omitted attribute

       -h, --no-dereference

              affect symbolic links instead of any referenced file (useful only on  systems  that
              can change the ownership of a symlink)

       -H

              if a command line argument is a symbolic link to a directory, traverse it

       --help

              Print help information.

       -L

              traverse every symbolic link to a directory encountered

       --no-preserve-root

              do not treat '/' specially (the default)

       -P

              do not traverse any symbolic links (default)

       --preserve-root

              fail to operate recursively on '/'

       --quiet

              suppress most error messages

       -R, --recursive

              operate on files and directories recursively

       --reference <RFILE>...

              use RFILE's owner and group rather than specifying OWNER:GROUP values

       -v, --verbose

              output a diagnostic for every file processed

       -V, --version

              Print version information
