The chownSync function takes 3 arguments:

  1. The path to the file or directory you want to modify the ownership of.
  2. The new user ID you want to set.
  3. The new group ID you want to set.

Note that chownSync will throw an error if it is unable to change the ownership of the file or directory. You can catch this error and handle it appropriately in your code.
