chgrp

PURPOSE

     Changes the group ownership of a file or directory.

SYNOPSIS
     chown owner file ...

     chgrp group file ...


DESCRIPTION

     The chgrp  command changes the group  associated with the
     specified file or directory  to groupname or groupID.  If
     you  do  not  own  the  file,  you  must  have  superuser
     authority to change the group ID.

     If the  file or directory  resides on a remote  node, the
     translated group ID is used.

FLAG

     -r        Causes the untranslated group ID to be used.

EXAMPLES

     To change  the group ownership  of the file  or directory
     named "proposals" to "staff":

       chgrp  staff  proposals

     The group access permissions for "proposals" now apply to
     the "staff" group.

FILES

     /etc/group  File that identifies all known groups.
