The implementation also accepts the []: form (e.g. chown :5 /path, where the uid is left unchanged), but the usage string only documents [:gid]. Users who run help chown will not learn that the uid side may be omitted.
Suggested change to keep the help text consistent with what the parser actually accepts:
- CMD_MAP("chown", cmd_chown, 3, 3, "<uid>[:gid] <path>"),
+ CMD_MAP("chown", cmd_chown, 3, 3, "[<uid>][:<gid>] <path>"),
Add minimal chmod/chown support to NSH using the existing libc/VFS syscall interfaces. Supported forms: - chmod <octal-mode> <path> - chown <uid>[:gid] <path> The chown implementation supports the numeric ownership forms already handled by the underlying NuttX chown() implementation, including unchanged uid/gid semantics via omitted fields. Only numeric permission modes and numeric uid/gid forms are supported in this initial implementation. This adds interactive filesystem permission and ownership management support to NSH and aligns the shell more closely with standard POSIX environments.

Summary
This PR adds chmod and chown builtins to NSH by exposing the existing libc/VFS permission and ownership interfaces through the shell. The implementation supports numeric octal permission modes for chmod and numeric ownership forms for chown, including uid, uid:gid, uid:, and :gid, matching the semantics already handled by the underlying NuttX chown() implementation.
Documentation will be added shortly on Nuttx Repo
Impact
This makes filesystem permission and ownership management directly accessible from NSH and exposes the existing libc/VFS ownership semantics in NuttX, improving usability/debugging without requiring custom test applications.
