[TclX] interface to the command to change the owner of one or more files.

Some operating systems and/or file systems won't support this operation.
----

    :   '''chown''' ?'''-fileid'''? ''owner'' | {''owner group''} ''filelist''
Set owner of each file in the list ''filelist'' to ''owner'', which can be a user name or numeric user id.  If the first parameter is a list, then the owner is set to the first element of the list and the group is set to the second element.  ''Group'' can be a group name or numeric group id.  If ''group'' is {}, then the file group will be set to the login group of the specified user.

If the option '''-fileid''' is specified, ''filelist'' is a list of open file identifiers rather than a list of file names. This option is not available on all Unix systems.  Use the '''[infox] have_fchown''' command to determine if this functionality is available.

The '''chown''' command is not available on [Windows] 95/NT.

----
See also [['''[file] attributes''' ''fileName'' '''-owner''' ''id'']] for a standard Tcl way of doing this on Unix.
