99 Change the owner and/or group of each FILE to OWNER and/or GROUP.\n\
100 With --reference, change the owner and group of each FILE to those of RFILE.\n\
102 -c, --changes like verbose but report only when a change is made\n\
103 --dereference affect the referent of each symbolic link (this is\n\
104 the default), rather than the symbolic link itself\n\
107 -h, --no-dereference affect each symbolic link instead of any referenced\n\
108 file (useful only on systems that can change the\n\
109 ownership of a symlink)\n\
112 --from=CURRENT_OWNER:CURRENT_GROUP\n\
113 change the owner and/or group of each file only if\n\
114 its current owner and/or group match those specified\n\
115 here. Either may be omitted, in which case a match\n\
116 is not required for the omitted attribute.\n\
119 --no-preserve-root do not treat `/' specially (the default)\n\
120 --preserve-root fail to operate recursively on `/'\n\
123 -f, --silent, --quiet suppress most error messages\n\
124 --reference=RFILE use RFILE's owner and group rather than\n\
125 specifying OWNER:GROUP values\n\
126 -R, --recursive operate on files and directories recursively\n\
127 -v, --verbose output a diagnostic for every file processed\n\
131 The following options modify how a hierarchy is traversed when the -R\n\
132 option is also specified. If more than one is specified, only the final\n\
135 -H if a command line argument is a symbolic link\n\
136 to a directory, traverse it\n\
137 -L traverse every symbolic link to a directory\n\
139 -P do not traverse any symbolic links (default)\n\

146 Owner is unchanged if missing. Group is unchanged if missing, but changed\n\
147 to login group if implied by a `:' following a symbolic OWNER.\n\
148 OWNER and GROUP may be numeric as well as symbolic.\n\
153 %s root /u Change the owner of /u to \"root\".\n\
154 %s root:staff /u Likewise, but also change its group to \"staff\".\n\
155 %s -hR root /u Change the owner of /u and subfiles to \"root\".\n\
