Chgrp
The chgrp command is used by unprivileged users on Unix-like systems to change the group associated with a file. Unlike the chown command, chgrp allows regular users to change groups, but only to one of which they are a member.
Usage
The general syntax of the chgrp command is: chgrp group target1 [target2 ..]
- The group parameter indicates the new group with which the targets should be associated.
- The target parameters indicate the files or directories for which the change should be made.
Footnote: The group parameter may either be a symbolic name or an identifier.
Usage examples
$ chgrp bob red.gif - Changes the group associated with red.gif to 'bob', provided the executing user is a member of that group.
