xright

Xright is a command-line utility in Unix-like operating systems that allows users to change the ownership of files and directories. It is part of the GNU Core Utilities package and is typically used by system administrators and advanced users to manage file permissions and ownership. The command is named after the "change file access and modification times" command, chmod, and the "change file ownership" command, chown. Xright provides a more user-friendly interface for changing file ownership, as it allows users to specify the owner and group of a file or directory using symbolic names instead of numeric user IDs and group IDs. This can make it easier to understand and manage file ownership, especially in environments with many users and groups. Xright is not a standard command in all Unix-like operating systems, but it is available in some distributions, such as Debian and Ubuntu. It is important to note that xright requires superuser privileges to change the ownership of files and directories, and should be used with caution to avoid accidentally modifying important system files.
