CHGRP(1) General Commands Manual CHGRP(1)
NAME
chgrp - change group
SYNOPSIS
chgrp [ -f -R ] group file ...
DESCRIPTION
Chgrp changes the group-ID of the files to group. The group may be either a decimal GID or a group name found in the group-ID file.
The user invoking chgrp 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, chgrp 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
