|

| 28 | <p><em>Since Ant 1.6.</em></p>
|
|---|
| 29 | <h3>Description</h3>
|
|---|
| 30 |
|
|---|
| 31 | <p>Changes the owner of a file or all files inside specified
|
|---|
| 32 | directories. Right now it has effect only under Unix. The owner
|
|---|
| 33 | attribute is equivalent to the corresponding argument for the chown
|
|---|
| 34 | command.</p>
|
|---|
| 35 |
|
|---|
| 36 | <p><a href="../CoreTypes/fileset.html">FileSet</a>s,
|
|---|
| 37 | <a href="../CoreTypes/dirset.html">DirSet</a>s or <a
|
|---|
| 38 | href="../CoreTypes/filelist.html">FileList</a>s can be specified using
|
|---|
| 39 | nested <code><fileset></code>, <code><dirset></code> and
|
|---|
| 40 | <code><filelist></code> elements.</p>
|
|---|
| 41 |
|
|---|
| 42 | <p>Starting with Ant 1.7, this task supports arbitrary <a
|
|---|
| 43 | href="../CoreTypes/resources.html#collection">Resource Collection</a>s
|
|---|
| 44 | as nested elements.</p>
|
|---|
| 45 |
|
|---|
| 46 | <p>By default this task will use a single invocation of the underlying
|
|---|
| 47 | chown command. If you are working on a large number of files this may
|
|---|
| 48 | result in a command line that is too long for your operating system.
|
|---|
| 49 | If you encounter such problems, you should set the maxparallel
|
|---|
| 50 | attribute of this task to a non-zero value. The number to use highly
|
|---|
| 51 | depends on the length of your file names (the depth of your directory
|
|---|
| 52 | tree) and your operating system, so you'll have to experiment a
|
|---|
| 53 | little. POSIX recommends command line length limits of at least 4096
|
|---|
| 54 | characters, this may give you an approximation for the number you
|
|---|
| 55 | could use as initial value for these experiments.</p>
