NAME
       chgrp - change group

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

DESCRIPTION
       Chgrp  changes  the  group-ID  of the files 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 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, chgrp 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
