NAME

chgrp - change the group ownership of files  

SYNOPSIS

chgrp [-Rcfv] [--recursive] [--changes] [--silent] [--quiet] [--verbose] group file...  

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents the GNU version of chgrp. chgrp changes the group ownership of each given file to the named group, which can be either a group name or a numeric group ID.  

OPTIONS

-c, --changes
Verbosely describe only files whose ownership actually changes.
-f, --silent, --quiet
Do not print error messages about files whose ownership cannot be changed.
-v, --verbose
Verbosely describe ownership changes.
-R, --recursive
Recursively change ownership of directories and their contents.

The long-named options can be introduced with `+' as well as `--', for compatibility with previous releases. Eventually support for `+' will be removed, because it is incompatible with the POSIX.2 standard.
