docs: Fix the chown command in macvtap-bridge.md

liuw · liuw · commit da5fae38141d · 2025-07-01T15:12:03.000Z
When invoking the script chown shows a warning.

    chown: warning: '.' should be ':': ‘1000.1000’

From `info coreutils 'chown invocation'`.

   Some older scripts may still use ‘.’ in place of the ‘:’ separator.
POSIX 1003.1-2001 (*note Standards conformance::) does not require
support for that, but for backward compatibility GNU ‘chown’ supports
‘.’ so long as no ambiguity results, although it issues a warning and
support may be removed in future versions.  New scripts should avoid the
use of ‘.’ because it is not portable, and because it has undesirable
results if the entire OWNER‘.’GROUP happens to identify a user whose
name contains ‘.’.
