CHGRP(1)CHGRP(1)

NAME

chgrp – change file group

SYNOPSIS

chgrp [ -ou ] group file ...

DESCRIPTION

The group of each named file is changed to group, which should be a name known to the server holding the file.

A file’s group can be changed by the file’s owner, if the owner is a member of the new group, or by the leader of both the file’s current group and the new group.

The -o and -u option are synonyms; they specify that the owner is to be set, rather than the group. They are ineffectual unless the file server is in the bootstrap state that permits changing file ownership.
