* the file. Often the owner of a file is the identity of the entity that
* created the file.
*
* <p> The {@link #getOwner getOwner} or {@link #setOwner setOwner} methods may
* be used to read or update the owner of the file.
*
* <p> The {@link java.nio.file.Files#getAttribute getAttribute} and
* {@link java.nio.file.Files#setAttribute setAttribute} methods may also be
* used to read or update the owner. In that case, the owner attribute is
* identified by the name {@code "owner"}, and the value of the attribute is
* a {@link UserPrincipal}.
