File and Path Function

int chown(const char *filename, uid_t owner, gid_t group);

Internationalization (I18n) Function Overview

The chown function changes the owner of the file filename to owner, and its group owner to group. It returns 0 if successful; otherwise it returns -1 and sets the global errno variable with the error value.

I18n Issues

On ANSI UTF-16 platforms, use a conversion function to convert the wide-character string to a multibyte-character string and then call chown.

See Pathnames for a discussion of path and filename considerations in an internationalized application.

*If you're already using the recommended function, see I18n Issues for other reasons why Globalyzer is detecting the function.
