DESCRIPTION

13       The  explain_chown_or_die  function is used to call the chown(2) system
14       call.  On failure an explanation will be printed  to  stderr,  obtained
15       from  explain_chown(3),  and  then  the  process  terminates by calling
16       exit(EXIT_FAILURE).

24               call.
25
26       owner   The owner, exactly as to be passed to the chown(2) system call.
