chgrp — change group ownership
chgrp [OPTION...] GROUP FILE...
chgrp [OPTION...] −−reference=RFILE FILE...
Change the group of each FILE to GROUP. With −−reference, change the group of
each FILE to that of RFILE.
−c, −−changeslike verbose but report only when a change is made
−−dereferenceaffect the referent of each symbolic link (this is the default), rather than the symbolic link itself
−h, −−no−dereferenceaffect each symbolic link instead of any referenced file (useful only on systems that can change the ownership of a symlink)
−−no−preserve−rootdo not treat `/' specially (the default)
−−preserve−rootfail to operate recursively on `/'
−f, −−silent, −−quietsuppress most error messages
−−reference=RFILEuse RFILE's group rather than specifying a GROUP value
−R, −−recursiveoperate on files and directories recursively
−v, −−verboseoutput 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.
−Hif a command line argument is a symbolic link to a directory, traverse it
−Ltraverse every symbolic link to a directory encountered
−Pdo not traverse any symbolic links (default)
−−helpdisplay this help and exit
−−versionoutput version information and exit
