✨ chgrp(1) ✨

okay bestie, gather round, because this is the General Commands Manual entry for chgrp, and she's here to change the group of each FILE to GROUP 💅 no cap

🎀 NAME 🎀

chgrp — Change the group of each FILE to GROUP.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

chgrp [--help] [-c|--changes] [-f|--silent] [--quiet] [-v|--verbose]
[--preserve-root] [--no-preserve-root] [--reference] [--from]
[-R|--recursive] [-H ] [-L ] [-P ] [--dereference] [-h|--no-dereference]
[-V|--version]

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Change the group of each FILE to GROUP. that's it, that's the whole job, and she does it flawlessly 🦋

---

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• --help — Print help information. your girl is helpful, periodt 🫶
• -c, --changes — like verbose but report only when a change is made. lowkey the "only tell me the tea that's actually new" setting 😌
• -f, --silent — and also:
• --quiet — suppress most error messages. shhh 🤫
• -v, --verbose — output a diagnostic for every file processed. main character energy, every file gets a shoutout 📣
• --preserve-root — fail to operate recursively on /. protect the root, she's sacred 👑
• --no-preserve-root — do not treat / specially (the default). wild behaviour, but it IS the default, so 🤷
• --reference <RFILE> — use RFILE's group rather than specifying GROUP values. copy her whole vibe instead of picking one 🌈
• --from <GROUP> — change the group only if its current group matches GROUP. conditional queen 💅
• -R, --recursive — operate on files and directories recursively. go deeper. always deeper 🌀
• -H — if a command line argument is a symbolic link to a directory, traverse it.
• -L — traverse every symbolic link to a directory encountered.
• -P — do not traverse any symbolic links (default).
• --dereference — affect the referent of each symbolic link (this is the default), rather than the symbolic link itself.
• -h, --no-dereference — affect symbolic links instead of any referenced file (useful only on systems that can change the ownership of a symlink).
• -V, --version — Print version.

bestie, please note: -P and --dereference are both defaults in their own ways, so don't come for me, I'm just the messenger 💀
