GROUPADD(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 					       GROUPADD(8)

NAME

     groupadd -- add a group to the system

SYNOPSIS

     groupadd [-ov] [-g gid] [-r lowgid..highgid] group

DESCRIPTION

     The groupadd utility adds a group to the system.  See group(8) for more information about EXTENSIONS.  The options are as follows:

     -g gid  Give the numeric group identifier to be used for the new group.

     -o      Allow the new group to have a gid which is already in use for another group.

     -r lowgid..highgid
	     Set the low and high bounds of a gid range for new groups.  A new group can only be created if there are gids which can be assigned
	     inside the range.	This option is included if built with EXTENSIONS.

     -v      Enable verbose mode - explain the commands as they are executed.  This option is included if built with EXTENSIONS.

EXIT STATUS

     The groupadd utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
