Frequently you want to change the group of a file at the same time that you change the owner. The <command>chown</command> command has a special syntax for that: <command>chown <replaceable>user</replaceable>:<replaceable>group</replaceable> <replaceable>file</replaceable></command>. This syntax can also be used to recursively (<literal>-R</literal>) change the ownership of a whole directory.
قد ترغب أحياناً بتغيير مجموعة الملف في نفس الوقت الذي تغير فيه مالكه. هناك صيغة خاصة للأمر <command>chown</command> لهذا الغرض: <command>chown <replaceable>user</replaceable>:<replaceable>group</replaceable> <replaceable>file</replaceable></command>
