Changes owner and group on the named files (in list) to the user user and the group group. user and group may be an ID (Integer/String) or a name (String). If user or group is nil, this method does not change the attribute.
Example
FileUtils.chown 'root', 'staff', '/usr/local/bin/ruby' FileUtils.chown nil, 'bin', Dir.glob('/usr/bin/*'), verbose: true
