Name
chgrp — change group ownership
Synopsis
chgrp [OPTION...] GROUP FILE...
chgrp [OPTION...] −−reference=RFILE FILE...
DESCRIPTION
Change the group of each FILE to GROUP. With −−reference, change the group of
each FILE to that of RFILE.
−c, −−changes-
like verbose but report only when a change is
made
−−dereference-
affect the referent of each symbolic link (this is
the default), rather than the symbolic link itself
−h, −−no−dereference-
affect each symbolic link instead of any referenced
file (useful only on systems that can change the
ownership of a symlink)
−−no−preserve−root-
do not treat `/' specially (the default)
−−preserve−root-
fail to operate recursively on `/'
−f, −−silent, −−quiet-
suppress most error messages
−−reference=RFILE-
use RFILE's group rather than specifying a GROUP
value
−R, −−recursive-
operate on files and directories recursively
−v, −−verbose-
output a diagnostic for every file processed
The following options modify how a hierarchy is traversed
when the −R option is also
specified. If more than one is specified, only the final one
takes effect.
−H-
if a command line argument is a symbolic link to a
directory, traverse it
−L-
traverse every symbolic link to a directory
encountered
−P-
do not traverse any symbolic links (default)
−−help-
display this help and exit
−−version-
output version information and exit
EXAMPLES
Change the group of /u to "staff".
