SetOwner

Set owner information for a file or directory (V39)

SetOwner() sets the owner information for the file or directory. This value is a 32-bit value that is normally split into 16 bits of owner user id (bits 31-16), and 16 bits of owner group id (bits 15-0). However, other than returning them as shown by Examine()/ ExNext()/ExAll(), the file system take no interest in the values. These are primarily for use by networking software (clients and hosts), in conjunction with the FIBF_OTR_xxx and FIBF_GRP_xxx protection bits.

This entrypoint did not exist in V36, so you must open at least V37 dos.library to use it. V37 dos.library will return FALSE to this function.
