CHGRP(1)                    General Commands Manual                   CHGRP(1)

NAME
       chgrp - change group

SYNOPSIS
       chgrp [-R] [owner:]group file ...

OPTIONS
       -R   # Change directory hierarchies

EXAMPLES
       chgrp system file1 file2
                           # Make system the group of the files

       chrgp -R other dir1 # Make other the group of all files below dir1

DESCRIPTION
       The  group  field  (and  optionally  owner field) of the named files is
       changed to group and owner .  Alternatively, a decimal gid (uid) may be
       specified instead of a group name.  If the -R flag is used, the changes
       will be applied recursively to all files in named directories. Only the
       superuser  may  execute  this  command  to set arbitrary groups. Normal
       users can only change the group if they own the file, and the group  is
       their own group (MINIX 3), or one of their supplementary groups (Minix-
       vmd).
