NAME

SYNOPSIS

9       chgrp [ -f -R ] group file ...
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Chgrp  changes  the  group-ID  of the files to group.  The group may be
13       either a decimal GID or a group name found in the group-ID file.
14
15       The user invoking chgrp must belong to the specified group and  be  the
16       owner of the file, or be the super-user.
17
18       No errors are reported when the -f (force) option is given.
19
20       When  the  -R option is given, chgrp recursively descends its directory
21       arguments setting the specified  group-ID.   When  symbolic  links  are
22       encountered, their group is changed, but they are not traversed.
