--help Print help information.

       -c, --changes
              like verbose but report only when a change is made

       --from=CURRENT_OWNER:CURRENT_GROUP
              change  the  owner  and/or  group  of each file only if its current owner and/or group match those
              specified here. Either may be omitted, in which case a match  is  not  required  for  the  omitted
              attribute

       --preserve-root
              fail to operate recursively on '/'

       --no-preserve-root
              do not treat '/' specially (the default)

       --quiet
              suppress most error messages

       -R, --recursive
              operate on files and directories recursively

       --reference=RFILE
              use RFILE's owner and group rather than specifying OWNER:GROUP values

       -f, --silent-v, --verbose
              output a diagnostic for every file processed

       -H     if a command line argument is a symbolic link to a directory, traverse it

       -L     traverse every symbolic link to a directory encountered

       -P     do not traverse any symbolic links (default)

       --dereference
              affect  the  referent  of  each symbolic link (this is the default), rather than the symbolic link
              itself

       -h, --no-dereference
              affect symbolic links instead of any referenced file (useful only on systems that can  change  the
              ownership of a symlink)

       -V, --version
              Print version
