  POSIX specification: @url{http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/chown.html}
  
  Gnulib module: chown
  
  Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:
  @itemize
  @item
  When passed an argument of -1, some implementations really set the owner
  user/group id of the file to this value, rather than leaving that id of the
  file alone.
  @item
  When applied to a symbolic link, some implementations don't dereference
  the symlink, i.e.@: they behave like @code{lchown}.
  @end itemize
  
  Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
  @itemize
  @item
  This function is missing on some platforms:
  mingw.
  @end itemize
