+<h1> The <tt>s6-chown</tt> program </h1>
+
+<p>
+ s6-chown changes the owner and/or group of a file.
+</p>
+
+<h2> Interface </h2>
+
+<pre>
+ s6-chown [ -U ] [ -u uid ] [ -g gid ] file
+</pre>
+
+<ul>
+ <li> s6-chown changes <em>file</em>'s owner to (numeric) <em>uid</em> and group
+to (numeric) <em>gid</em>. </li>
+ <li> If <em>uid</em> isn't provided, the owner remains the same; if <em>gid</em>
+isn't provided, the group remains the same. </li>
+ <li> The <tt>-U</tt> option sets <em>uid</em> to the value of the UID
+environment variable and <em>gid</em> to the value of the GID environment variable.
+This makes s6-chown easily usable with
+<a href="http://www.skarnet.org/software/s6/s6-envuidgid.html">s6-envuidgid</a>:
+<tt> s6-envuidgid account s6-chown -U file </tt> changes <em>file</em>'s uid and
+gid to <em>account</em>'s. </li>
+</ul>
+
+<h2> Posixness </h2>
+
+<p>
+ s6-chown <strong>is not</strong> suitable as a Single Unix
