rust-chgrp1

Change the group of each file to group.

Usage

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}]

Overview

Change the group of each FILE to GROUP.

Options

--help: Print help information.

-c, --changes: like verbose but report only when a change is made

-f, --silent

--quiet: suppress most error messages

-v, --verbose: output a diagnostic for every file processed

--preserve-root: fail to operate recursively on '/'

--no-preserve-root: do not treat '/' specially (the default)

--reference=RFILE: use RFILE's group rather than specifying GROUP values

--from=GROUP: change the group only if its current group matches GROUP

-R, --recursive: operate on files and directories recursively

-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
