Remarks

Updates the file owner.

The path parameter is associated with a file system that supports FileOwnerAttributeView. This file attribute view provides access to a file attribute that is the owner of the file.

<b>Usage Example:</b> Suppose we want to make "joe" the owner of a file:

Path path = ...
                UserPrincipalLookupService lookupService =
                    provider(path).getUserPrincipalLookupService();
                UserPrincipal joe = lookupService.lookupPrincipalByName("joe");
                Files.setOwner(path, joe);
