If the sys- + tem does not support group IDs for symbolic + links, for each file operand that names a file of + type symbolic link, chgrp shall do nothing more + with the current file and shall go on to any + remaining files. + + -H If the -R option is specified and a symbolic link + referencing a file of type directory is specified + on the command line, chgrp shall change the group + of the directory referenced by the symbolic link + and all files in the file hierarchy below it. + + -L If the -R option is specified and a symbolic link + referencing a file of type directory is specified + on the command line or encountered during the + traversal of a file hierarchy, chgrp shall change + the group of the directory referenced by the sym- + bolic link and all files in the file hierarchy + below it. + + -P If the -R option is specified and a symbolic link + is specified on the command line or encountered + during the traversal of a file hierarchy, chgrp + shall change the group ID of the symbolic link if + the system supports this operation. The chgrp + utility shall not follow the symbolic link to any + other part of the file hierarchy. + + -R Recursively change file group IDs. For each file + operand that names a directory, chgrp shall + change the group of the directory and all files + in the file hierarchy below it. Unless a -H, -L, + or -P option is specified, it is unspecified + which of these options will be used as the + default. + + + Specifying more than one of the mutually-exclusive + options -H, -L, and -P shall not be considered an error. + The last option specified shall determine the behavior + of the utility. + +OPERANDS + The following operands shall be supported: + + group A group name from the group database or a numeric + group ID. Either specifies a group ID to be given + to each file named by one of the file operands. + If a numeric group operand exists in the group + database as a group name, the group ID number + associated with that group name is used as the + group ID. + + file A pathname of a file whose group ID is to be mod- + ified. + + +STDIN + Not used. + +INPUT FILES + None. + +ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES + The following environment variables shall affect the + execution of chgrp: + + LANG Provide a default value for the internationaliza- + tion variables that are unset or null. (See the + Base Definitions volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, + Section 8.2, Internationalization Variables for + the precedence of internationalization variables + used to determine the values of locale cate- + gories.) + + LC_ALL If set to a non-empty string value, override the + values of all the other internationalization + variables. + + LC_CTYPE + Determine the locale for the interpretation of + sequences of bytes of text data as characters + (for example, single-byte as opposed to multi- + byte characters in arguments). + + LC_MESSAGES + Determine the locale that should be used to + affect the format and contents of diagnostic mes- + sages written to standard error. + + NLSPATH + Determine the location of message catalogs for + the processing of LC_MESSAGES . + + +ASYNCHRONOUS EVENTS + Default. + +STDOUT + Not used. + +STDERR + The standard error shall be used only for diagnostic + messages. + +OUTPUT FILES + None. + +EXTENDED DESCRIPTION + None. + +EXIT STATUS + The following exit values shall be returned: + + 0 The utility executed successfully and all + requested changes were made. + + >0 An error occurred. + + +CONSEQUENCES OF ERRORS + Default. + + The following sections are informative. + +APPLICATION USAGE + Only the owner of a file or the user with appropriate + privileges may change the owner or group of a file. + + Some implementations restrict the use of chgrp to a user + with appropriate privileges when the group specified is + not the effective group ID or one of the supplementary + group IDs of the calling process. + +EXAMPLES + None. + +RATIONALE + The System V and BSD versions use different exit status + codes. Some implementations used the exit status as a + count of the number of errors that occurred; this prac- + tice is unworkable since it can overflow the range of + valid exit status values. The standard developers chose + to mask these by specifying only 0 and >0 as exit val- + ues. + + The functionality of chgrp is described substantially + through references to chown(). In this way, there is no + duplication of effort required for describing the inter- + actions of permissions, multiple groups, and so on. + +FUTURE DIRECTIONS + None. + +SEE ALSO + chmod() , chown() , the System Interfaces volume of + IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, chown() + +COPYRIGHT + Portions of this text are reprinted and reproduced in + electronic form from IEEE Std 1003.1, 2003 Edition, + Standard for Information Technology -- Portable Operat- + ing System Interface (POSIX), The Open Group Base Speci- + fications Issue 6, Copyright (C) 2001-2003 by the Insti- + tute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc and + The Open Group.
