Since Linux 2.1.81, -.B chown +.BR chown () does follow symbolic links, and there is a new system call -.B lchown +.BR lchown () that does not follow symbolic links.

The 4.4BSD version can only be used by the superuser (that is, ordinary users cannot give away files). SVr4 documents EINVAL, EINTR, ENOLINK and EMULTIHOP returns, but no ENOMEM. POSIX.1 does not document ENOMEM or ELOOP error conditions. .PP The -.B fchown +.BR fchown () call conforms to 4.4BSD and SVr4. SVr4 documents additional EINVAL, EIO, EINTR, and ENOLINK error conditions. .SH RESTRICTIONS |
