Owner
=====

 - Test: -user uname
 - Test: -group gname
     True if the file is owned by user UNAME (belongs to group GNAME).
     A numeric ID is allowed.

 - Test: -uid n
 - Test: -gid n
     True if the file's numeric user ID (group ID) is N.  These tests
     support ranges (`+N' and `-N'), unlike `-user' and `-group'.

 - Test: -nouser
 - Test: -nogroup
     True if no user corresponds to the file's numeric user ID (no group
     corresponds to the numeric group ID).  These cases usually mean
     that the files belonged to users who have since been removed from
     the system.  You probably should change the ownership of such
     files to an existing user or group, using the `chown' or `chgrp'
     program.
