chown /ˈtʃoʊn/, short for change owner, is a shell command for changing the owning user of Unix-based file system files – including special files such as directories.
The ownership of a file may only be altered by a super-user (such as via sudo). A regular user cannot give away their ownership of a file.[1]
The version of chown bundled in GNU coreutils was written by David MacKenzie and Jim Meyering.[2]
The command is available for Windows via UnxUtils.[3] The command was ported to IBM i.[4]
