<h2>fchown()--Change Owner and Group of File by Descriptor</h2>
<div class="box" style="width: 70%;">
<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;Syntax<br>
<pre>
#include &lt;unistd.h&gt;
int fchown(int <em>fildes</em>, uid_t <em>owner</em>, gid_t <em>group</em>);
</pre>
&nbsp;&nbsp;Service Program Name: QP0LLIB1<br>
<!-- iddvc RMBR -->
<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;Default Public Authority: *USE<br>
<!-- iddvc RMBR -->
<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;Threadsafe: Conditional; see <a href="#USAGE_NOTES">Usage Notes</a>.<br>
<!-- iddvc RMBR -->
<br>
</div>
<p>The <strong>fchown()</strong> function changes the owner and group of a
file. The permissions of the previous owner or primary group to the object are
revoked.</p>
<p>If the file is checked out by another user (someone other than the user
profile of the current job), <strong>fchown()</strong> fails with the [EBUSY]
error.</p>
<p>When <strong>fchown()</strong> completes successfully, it marks the change
time of the file to be updated.</p>
<br>
<h3>Parameters</h3>
<dl>
<dt><strong><em>fildes</em></strong></dt>
<dd>(Input) The file descriptor of the file.<br>
</dd>
<dt><strong><em>owner</em></strong></dt>
<dd>(Input) The new user ID to be set for file.<br>
</dd>
<dt><strong><em>group</em></strong></dt>
<dd>(Input) The new group ID to be set for file.</dd>
</dl>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> Changing the owner or the primary group causes the
S_ISUID (set-user-ID) and S_ISGID (set-group-ID) bits of the file mode to be
cleared, unless the caller has *ALLOBJ special authority. If the caller does
have *ALLOBJ special authority, the bits are not changed. This does not apply
to directories, FIFO special files, or pipes. See the <a href="chmod.htm">
chmod()</a> documentation.</p>
<br>
<h3>Authorities</h3>

<ol type="1">
<li>This function will fail with error code [ENOTSAFE] when all the following
conditions are true:<br>
<br>
<ul>
<li>Where multiple threads exist in the job.<br>
</li>
<li>The object on which this function is operating resides in a file system
that is not threadsafe. Only the following file systems are threadsafe for this
function:<br>
<br>
<ul>
<li>"Root" (/)</li>
<li>QOpenSys</li>
<li>User-defined</li>
<li>QNTC</li>

<li>Network File System</li>
<li>QFileSvr.400</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<br>
</li>
<li>QDLS File System Differences
<p>The owner and primary group of the /QDLS directory (root folder) cannot be
changed. If an attempt is made to change the owner and primary group, a
[ENOTSUP] error is returned.</p>
<br>
</li>
<li>QOPT File System Differences
<p>Changing the owner and primary group is allowed only for an object that
exists on a volume formatted in Universal Disk Format (UDF). For all other
media formats, ENOTSUP will be returned.</p>
<p>QOPT file system objects that have owners will not be recognized by the Work
with Objects by Owner (WRKOBJOWN) CL command. Likewise, QOPT objects that have
a primary group will not be recognized by the Work Objects by Primary Group
(WRKOBJPGP) CL command.</p>
<br>
</li>
<li>QFileSvr.400 File System Differences
<p>The QFileSvr.400 file system does not support <strong>fchown()</strong>.</p>
<br>
</li>
<li>QNetWare File System Differences
<p>Primary group is not supported. The GID must be zero on this API.</p>
<br>
</li>
<li>QNTC File System Differences
<p>The owner of files and directories cannot be changed. All files and
directories in QNTC are owned by the QDFTOWN user profile.</p>
