method description:

Change file ownership.

syntax:


fs.chown(path, uid, gid, [callback(err)])

As this method belongs to fs module, fs module needs to be introduced before use (var fs= require(" fs ")).

receive parameters:

path                   directory path

uid                     user ID

gid                     group identity

callback       callback, passing the exception parameter err

example:


fs.chown('content.txt', uid, gid, function(err){
 if(err){
  console.log(err);
 }else{
  console.log("change done");
 }
})

source code:


fs.chown = function(path, uid, gid, callback) {
  callback = makeCallback(callback);
  if (!nullCheck(path, callback)) return;
  binding.chown(pathModule._makeLong(path), uid, gid, callback);
};
