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

133 Owner is unchanged if missing. Group is unchanged if missing, but changed\n\
134 to login group if implied by a `:' following a symbolic OWNER.\n\
135 OWNER and GROUP may be numeric as well as symbolic.\n\
140 %s root /u Change the owner of /u to \"root\".\n\
141 %s root:staff /u Likewise, but also change its group to \"staff\".\n\
142 %s -hR root /u Change the owner of /u and subfiles to \"root\".\n\
