|
Some platforms fail to detect trailing slash on non-directories, as in
|
|
@code{chown("link-to-file/",uid,gid)}:
|
|
FreeBSD 7.2, AIX 7.1, Solaris 9.
|
|
@item
|
|
Some platforms fail to update the change time when at least one
|
|
argument was not @minus{}1, but no ownership changes resulted:
|
|
OpenBSD 4.0.
|
|
@item
|
|
When passed an argument of @minus{}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}.
|
|
@item
|
|
This function is missing on some platforms; however, the replacement
|
|
always fails with @code{ENOSYS}:
|
|
mingw, MSVC 9.
