CHGRP(1)                COMMAND REFERENCE                CHGRP(1)



NAME
     chgrp - change group ownership

SYNOPSIS
     chgrp [ -f ] [ -l ] group filename...

DESCRIPTION
     The chgrp command changes the group-ID of the filenames to
     group.  The group may be either a decimal group
     identification (GID) or a group name found in the group-ID
     file.

     The user invoking chgrp must belong to the specified group
     or must be the superuser.

OPTIONS
     -f Force the command; do not give error messages about
        nonexistent files or files that cannot have group
        ownership changed.

     -l Follow symbolic links.  Normally, the group ownership of
        the symbolic link itself is changed.  The -l option
        causes chgrp to follow the symbolic links and change the
        group ownership of the file pointed to.

EXAMPLES
     The following invocation changes the group of the file temp
     to system:

          chgrp system temp

FILES
     /etc/group   system group information
