DESCRIPTION
The command modifies a group on the system by altering the appropriate entry in the file.
The command must be used with the group argument, which is the name of the group to be modified. The name consists of a string of print-
able characters that may not include a colon or newline

specified, user information is looked up in this file, instead of
If specified, the option should used as the first option.
Change the value of the group
ID to gid. gid must be a non-negative decimal integer less than as defined in the header file.
Allow the gid to be non-unique (that is, a duplicate).
Change the name of the group to

NIS
The command is aware of NIS user entries. Only local groups may be modified with Attempts to modify an NIS group will result in an error.
NIS groups must be administered from the NIS server. If is used on a system where NIS is installed, it may fail with the error
(return value 6) if the group specified is an NIS group (see group(4)). However, NIS groups are checked when verifying uniqueness of the
new gid or new group name, which may result in the above error, or the error
(return value 4).
RETURN VALUE
The command exits with one of the following values:
No error.
Invalid command syntax.
Invalid argument supplied to an option.
gid is not unique (when is not used).

WARNINGS
Because many users try to write to the file simultaneously, a password locking mechanism was devised. If this locking fails after subse-
quent retrying, terminates.
