+[NAME]
+chown \- change file owner and group
+[DESCRIPTION]
+This manual page
+documents the GNU version of
+.BR chown .
+.B chown
+changes the user and/or group ownership of each given file. If
+only an owner (a user name or numeric user ID) is given, that user is made the
+owner of each given file, and the files' group is not changed. If the
+owner is followed by a colon and a group name (or numeric group ID),
+with no spaces between them, the group ownership of the files is
+changed as well. If a colon but no group name follows the user name,
+that user is made the owner of the files and the group of the files is
+changed to that user's login group. If the colon and group are given,
+but the owner is omitted, only the group of the files is changed;
+in this case,
+.B chown
+performs the same function as
+.BR chgrp .
+If only a colon is given, or if the entire operand is empty, neither the
+owner nor the group is changed.
