A username (or numeric user ID), to set the owner: chown smith myfile
A username (or numeric user ID), optionally followed by a colon and a group name (or numeric group ID), to set the owner and group: chown smith:users myfile
A username (or numeric user ID) followed by a colon, to set the owner and to set the group to the invoking user’s login group: chown smith: myfile
A group name (or numeric group ID) preceded by a colon, to set the group only: chown :users myfile
--reference= file to set the same owner and group as another given file

`--dereference`	Follow symbolic links and operate on the files they point to.
