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.

[edit] 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 target1 parameter indicates the files or directories for which the change should be made.
- The target2 parameter indicates optional additional files or directories for which the change should be made.
Footnote: The group parameter may either be a symbolic name or an identifier.
[edit] Usage example
$ls -l ttt -rw-r--r-- 1 gbeeker staff 545 Nov 04 2004 ttt $chgrp system ttt $ls -l ttt -rw-r--r-- 1 gbeeker system 545 Nov 04 2004 ttt
The above command changes the group associated with ttt to 'system', provided the executing user is a member of that group.
