NAME

       chgrp - change group

SYNOPSIS

       chgrp [-R] [owner:]group file ...

OPTIONS

       -R     Change directory hierarchies

EXAMPLES

       chgrp system file1 file2
			   # Make system the group of the files

       chrgp -R other dir1 # Make other the group of all files below dir1

DESCRIPTION

       The  group field (and optionally owner field) of the named files is changed to group and owner .  Alternatively, a decimal gid (uid) may be
       specified instead of a group name.  If the -R flag is used, the changes will be applied recursively to all files in named directories. Only
       the  superuser may execute this command to set arbitrary groups. Normal users can only change the group if they own the file, and the group
       is their own group (Minix), or one of their supplementary groups (Minix-vmd).

Name
       chown - change owner and, optionally, group

Syntax
       /etc/chown [ -fR ] owner[.group] file...

Description
       The  command  changes  the owner and, optionally, group for one or more files and directories.  The value for file can be a full or partial
       path.  The value for owner can be either a decimal UID or a login name found in the password file.  The value for group	can  be  either  a
       decimal GID or a group name found in the group file.

       Only  the  superuser  can change the ownership of a file.  The superuser can also change the group of a file.  The owner of a file can only
       change the group, but the owner must be a member of any group specified.

Options
       -f   Inhibits display of errors that are returned when cannot change the owner or group of the specified files.

       -R   Causes to recursively descend any directories subordinate to file and to set the owner, group, or  both  for  each	file  encountered.
	    When  symbolic  links  are encountered, changes the owner and group for the link file itself but does not traverse the path associated
	    with the link.  The option is useful only when file is a directory that is not empty.

Examples
       Change the owner of to ecbell:
       /etc/chown ecbell myfile

       Change the owner of to craig and group of to admin:
       /etc/chown craig.admin myfile

       Change the owner to richart and group to eng for the directories and and for all files and directories on any levels subordinate to and
       /etc/chown -R richart.eng projecta projectb
