NAME
       chgrp - change group

SYNOPSIS
       chgrp [ -f -R ] group file ...

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

       The user invoking _c_h_g_r_p must belong to the specified group and  be  the
       owner of the file, or be the super-user.

       No errors are reported when the -f (force) option is given.

       When  the  -R option is given, _c_h_g_r_p recursively descends its directory
       arguments setting the specified  group-ID.   When  symbolic  links  are
       encountered, their group is changed, but they are not traversed.

FILES
       /etc/group
