newgrp(1)
NAME
newgrp − shell built-in function to allow new group permissions to the user
SYNOPSIS
sh
newgrp [ argument ]
ksh
† newgrp [ arg ... ]
DESCRIPTION
sh
Equivalent to exec newgrp argument. See newgrp(1M) for usage and description.
ksh
Equivalent to exec /bin/newgrp arg ....
On this man page, ksh(1) commands that are preceded by one or two † (daggers) are treated specially in the following ways:
1. Variable assignment lists preceding the command remain in effect when the command completes.
2. I/O redirections are processed after variable assignments.
3. Errors cause a script that contains them to abort.
4. Words, following a command preceded by †† that are in the format of a variable assignment, are expanded with the same rules as a variable assignment. This means that tilde substitution is performed after the = sign and word splitting and file name generation are not performed.
