NAME

       lfc-chown - change owner and group of a LFC directory/file in the name server

SYNOPSIS

       lfc-chown [-h] [-R] owner[:group] path...

       lfc-chown [-h] [-R] :group path...

DESCRIPTION

       lfc-chown  sets  the  owner  and/or the group of a LFC directory/file in the name server to the values in
       owner and group respectively.

       To change the owner ID, if the group ID does not change and if the caller and the new owner ID belong  to
       that  group,  GRP_ADMIN  privilege  is needed, otherwise the caller must have ADMIN privilege in the Cupv
       database.  To change the group ID, the effective user ID of the process must match the owner  ID  of  the
       file  and  the new group must be in the list of groups the caller belong to or the caller must have ADMIN
       privilege in the Cupv database.

       owner  is either a valid username or a valid numeric ID.

       group  is either a valid group name or a valid numeric ID.

       path   specifies the LFC pathname.  If path does not start with /, it is prefixed by the content  of  the
              LFC_HOME environment variable.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -h     If path is a symbolic link, changes the ownership of the link itself.

       -R     Recursive mode.

EXIT STATUS

       This program returns 0 if the operation was successful or >0 if the operation failed.
