SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

       The vipw and vigr commands edits the files /etc/passwd and /etc/group, respectively. With the -s flag, they will edit the shadow versions
       of those files, /etc/shadow and /etc/gshadow, respectively. The programs will set the appropriate locks to prevent file corruption. When
       looking for an editor, the programs will first try the environment variable $VISUAL, then the environment variable $EDITOR, and finally the
       default editor, vi(1).

       -g, --group
	   Edit group database.

       -h, --help
	   Display help message and exit.

       -p, --passwd
	   Edit passwd database.

       -q, --quiet
	   Quiet mode.

       -R, --root CHROOT_DIR
	   Apply changes in the CHROOT_DIR directory and use the configuration files from the CHROOT_DIR directory.

       -s, --shadow
	   Edit shadow or gshadow database.

ENVIRONMENT

       VISUAL
	   Editor to be used.

       EDITOR
	   Editor to be used if VISUAL is not set.

FILES

       /etc/group
	   Group account information.

       /etc/gshadow
