.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility sets the group ID of the file named by each
|
|
.Ar file
|
|
operand to the
|
|
.Ar group
|
|
ID specified by the group operand.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following options are available:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl H
|
|
If the
|
|
.Fl R
|
|
option is specified, symbolic links on the command line are followed.
|
|
(Symbolic links encountered in the tree traversal are not followed).
|
|
.It Fl L
|
|
If the
|
|
.Fl R
|
|
option is specified, all symbolic links are followed.
|
|
.It Fl P
|
|
If the
|
|
.Fl R
|
|
option is specified, no symbolic links are followed.
|
|
.It Fl R
|
|
Change the group ID for the file hierarchies rooted
|
|
in the files instead of just the files themselves.
|
|
.It Fl f
|
|
The force option ignores errors, except for usage errors and doesn't
|
|
query about strange modes (unless the user does not have proper permissions).
|
|
.It Fl h
|
|
If the file is a symbolic link, the group ID of the link itself is changed
|
|
rather than the file that is pointed to.
|
|
.It Fl v
|
|
Cause
|
|
.Nm
|
|
to be verbose, showing files as the group is modified.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl H ,
|
|
.Fl L
|
|
and
|
|
.Fl P
|
|
options are ignored unless the
|
|
.Fl R
|
|
option is specified.
|
|
In addition, these options override each other and the
|
|
command's actions are determined by the last one specified.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Ar group
|
|
operand can be either a group name from the group database,
|
|
or a numeric group ID.
|
|
If a group name is also a numeric group ID, the operand is used as a
|
|
group name.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The user invoking
|
|
.Nm
|
|
must belong to the specified group and be the owner of the file,
|
|
or be the super-user.
|
|
.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
|
|
.Sh COMPATIBILITY
|
|
In previous versions of this system, symbolic links did not have groups.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl v
|
|
option is non-standard and its use in scripts is not recommended.
|
|
.Sh FILES
|
|
.Bl -tag -width /etc/group -compact
|
|
.It Pa /etc/group
|
|

utility is expected to be

|

compatible.
