how to use the lchown function from fs-extra in javascript

To use lchown() function from fs-extra in JavaScript, you can import the fs-extra package in your JavaScript application and call the lchown() function with required parameters.

Here is an example:

index.tsx
const fs = require('fs-extra');

// Using lchown() function
fs.lchown('/tmp/hello-world-link', 501, 20)
  .then(() => console.log('lchown complete!'))
  .catch(err => console.error(err))

In the above example, we are passing three parameters to the lchown() function. The first parameter is the path of the symbolic link we want to chown. The second parameter is the user ID we want to set for the link, and the third parameter is the group ID we want to set for the link.

If the operation is successful, it logs 'lchown complete!' in the console. If there is an error, it logs the error message in the console.

Keep in mind that lchown() function only works on symbolic links in modern Linux and macOS systems. In Windows and some older systems, it may not work or may have limited functionality.
