CHGRP(1)                COMMAND REFERENCE                CHGRP(1)



NAME
     chgrp - change group ownership

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

DESCRIPTION
     Chgrp changes the group-ID of the filenames to group.  The
     group may be either a decimal GID or a group name found in
     the group-ID file.

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

     -f  Force. No error messages about nonexistent files or
         files that can not 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
