Expand description

Change the owner and group of the specified path, without dereferencing symbolic links.

Identical to `chown`, except that if called on a symbolic link, this will change the owner and group of the link itself rather than the owner and group of the link target.

## Examples

    use std::os::unix::fs;

    fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
        fs::lchown("/symlink", Some(0), Some(0))?;
        Ok(())
    }
