Method System.chown()

Method chown

void chown(string path, int uid, int gid, void|int symlink)

Description

Sets the owner and group of the specified path.

If symlink is set and path refers to a symlink, then the owner and group for the symlink are set. Symlinks are dereferenced otherwise.

Note

Throws errors on failure.

This function is not available on all platforms. On some platforms the symlink flag isn't supported. In that case, the function does nothing if path is a symlink.
