CHGRP(1)                             BSD                              CHGRP(1)



NAME
     chgrp - change group

SYNOPSIS
     chgrp [ -fR ] group file ...

DESCRIPTION
     chgrp changes the group ID of the files to group.  The group can be
     either a decimal GID or a group name found in the group ID file.

     To invoke chgrp, you must belong to the specified group and be the owner
     of the file, or be the super-user.

OPTIONS
     -f        When you specify the -f (force) option, chgrp does not report
               errors.

     -R        When you specify the -R option, chgrp recursively descends its
               directory arguments setting the specified group ID.  When chgrp
               encounters symbolic links, it changes their group but they are
               not traversed.

FILES
     /etc/group
