CHGRP(1) CHGRP(1) NAME chgrp - change group SYNOPSIS chgrp [ -f -R ] group file ... DESCRIPTION _C_h_g_r_p changes the group-ID of the _f_i_l_e_s to _g_r_o_u_p. The group may be either a decimal GID or a group name found in the group-ID file. The user invoking _c_h_g_r_p must belong to the specified group and be the owner of the file, or be the super-user. No errors are reported when the -f (force) option is given. When the -R option is given, _c_h_g_r_p recursively descends its directory arguments setting the specified group-ID. When symbolic links are encountered, their group is changed, but they are not traversed. FILES /etc/group SEE ALSO chown(2), passwd(5), group(5) 4.2 Berkeley Distribution May 22, 1986 CHGRP(1)
