Hello,

Are there any thoughts on adding chauthor/lchauthor functions to the C
standard library, by analogy with chmod/lchmod and chown/chown? Currently,
the st_author field can be modified using file_chauthor, but this is not
particularly convenient, as it requires using functions from
GNU/Hurd-specific libraries.  Furthermore, this approach makes it difficult
to modify the st_author field for directories.
Is this feasible, and if so, would it be worth pursuing?

Thanks,
