| <h3>Examples</h3> |
| <blockquote> |
| <p><code><chown file="${dist}/start.sh" owner="coderjoe"/></code></p> |
| </blockquote> |
| <p>makes the "start.sh" file belong to coderjoe on a |
| UNIX system.</p> |
| <blockquote> |
| <pre> |
| <chown owner="coderjoe"> |
| <fileset dir="${dist}/bin" includes="**/*.sh"/> |
| </chown> |
| </pre> |
| </blockquote> |
| <p>makes all ".sh" files below <code>${dist}/bin</code> |
| belong to coderjoe on a UNIX system.</p> |
| <blockquote> |
| <pre> |
| <chown owner="coderjoe"> |
| <fileset dir="shared/sources1"> |
| <exclude name="**/trial/**"/> |
| </fileset> |
| <fileset refid="other.shared.sources"/> |
| </chown> |
| </pre> |
| </blockquote> |
| <p>makes all files below <code>shared/sources1</code> (except those |
| below any directory named trial) belong to coderjoe on a UNIX |
| system. In addition all files belonging to a FileSet |
| with <code>id</code> <code>other.shared.sources</code> get the same |
| owner.</p> |
| |
| <blockquote> |
| <pre> |
| <chown owner="webadmin" type="file"> |
| <fileset dir="/web"> |
| <include name="**/*.cgi"/> |
| <include name="**/*.old"/> |
| </fileset> |
| <dirset dir="/web"> |
| <include name="**/private_*"/> |
| </dirset> |
| </chmod> |
| </pre> |
| </blockquote> |
| |
| <p>makes cgi scripts, files with a <code>.old</code> extension or |
| directories begining with <code>private_</code> belong to the user named |
| webadmin. A directory ending in <code>.old</code> or a file begining with |
| <code>private_</code> would remain unaffected.</p> |
