DESCRIPTION

       lfc-chgrp sets the group ownership of a LFC directory/file in the name server to the value of group.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -h     If path is a symbolic link, changes the ownership of the link itself.

       -R     Recursive mode.

EXIT STATUS

       This program returns 0 if the operation was successful or >0 if the operation failed.
