dom

dom (from Latin dominus — master/owner) changes file or directory ownership. It is the core Vesper Linux replacement for GNU chown.

Flags

This utility does not use flags. Ownership is specified using standard user or user:group syntax.

Examples

Change file owner to a specific user:

dom user myfile.txt

Change both owner and group:

dom user:wheel script.sh

Change ownership of multiple files at once:

dom root:root file1.conf file2.conf
