Package org.apache.tools.ant.types.selectors

## Class OwnedBySelector

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.tools.ant.types.selectors.OwnedBySelector

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    `ResourceSelector`, `FileSelector`

      public class OwnedBySelector
      extends java.lang.Object
      implements FileSelector

  A selector that selects files based on their owner.

  Owner is defined in terms of `Files.getOwner(java.nio.file.Path, java.nio.file.LinkOption...)`, this means the selector will accept any file that exists and is owned by the given user. If the `getOwner` method throws an `UnsupportedOperationException` the file in question is not included.

  Since:
    Ant 1.10.0
