NAME
chgrp - change group
SYNOPSIS
chgrp [ -Rf ] 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, except for usage
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.
