QlgChown()--Change Owner and Group of File (using NLS-enabled path name)

 #include <unistd.h>

 int QlgChown(Qlg_Path_Name_T *path, uid_t owner,gid_t  
 group);

The QlgChown() function, like the chown() function, changes the owner and group of a file. The difference is that the QlgChown() function takes a pointer to a Qlg_Path_Name_T structure, while chown() takes a pointer to a character string.

Limited information about the path parameter is provided here. For more information about the path parameter and for a discussion of other parameters, authorities required, return values, and related information, see chown()--Change Owner and Group of File.

Parameters

path

(Input) A pointer to a Qlg_Path_Name_T structure that contains a path name or a pointer to a path name of the file whose owner and group are being changed. For more information about the Qlg_Path_Name_T structure, see Path name format.

           info.st_gid);

      printf("after QlgChown(), owner is %d and group is %d\n",
             info.st_uid, info.st_gid);
    }
    QlgUnlink((Qlg_Path_Name_T *)&path);
  }
}

Output:

original owner was 137 and group was 0
after QlgChown(), owner is 152 and group is 0
