For each +.IR file +operand that names a directory, +.IR chgrp +shall change the group of the directory and all files in the +file hierarchy below it.

Either +specifies a group ID to be given to each file named by one of the +.IR file +operands. If a numeric +.IR 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. +.IP "\fIfile\fR" 10 +A pathname of a file whose group ID is to be modified. +.SH STDIN +Not used. +.SH "INPUT FILES" +None. +.SH "ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES" +The following environment variables shall affect the execution of +.IR chgrp : +.IP "\fILANG\fP" 10 +Provide a default value for the internationalization variables that are +unset or null. (See the Base Definitions volume of POSIX.1\(hy2017, +.IR "Section 8.2" ", " "Internationalization Variables" +for the precedence of internationalization variables used to determine +the values of locale categories.) +.IP "\fILC_ALL\fP" 10 +If set to a non-empty string value, override the values of all the +other internationalization variables. +.IP "\fILC_CTYPE\fP" 10 +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). +.IP "\fILC_MESSAGES\fP" 10 +.br +Determine the locale that should be used to affect the format and +contents of diagnostic messages written to standard error. +.IP "\fINLSPATH\fP" 10 +Determine the location of message catalogs for the processing of +.IR LC_MESSAGES . +.SH "ASYNCHRONOUS EVENTS" +Default. +.SH STDOUT +Not used. +.SH STDERR +The standard error shall be used only for diagnostic messages. +.SH "OUTPUT FILES" +None. +.SH "EXTENDED DESCRIPTION" +None. +.SH "EXIT STATUS" +The following exit values shall be returned: +.IP "\00" 6 +The utility executed successfully and all requested changes were made. +.IP >0 6 +An error occurred. +.SH "CONSEQUENCES OF ERRORS" +Default. +.LP +.IR "The following sections are informative." +.SH "APPLICATION USAGE" +Only the owner of a file or the user with appropriate privileges may +change the owner or group of a file. +.P +Some implementations restrict the use of +.IR chgrp +to a user with appropriate privileges when the +.IR group +specified is not the effective group ID or one of the supplementary +group IDs of the calling process. +.SH EXAMPLES +None. +.SH 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 practice 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 values. +.P +The functionality of +.IR chgrp +is described substantially through references to +\fIchown\fR(). +In this way, there is no duplication of effort required for describing +the interactions of permissions, multiple groups, and so on. +.SH "FUTURE DIRECTIONS" +None. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.IR "\fIchmod\fR\^", +.IR "\fIchown\fR\^" +.P +The Base Definitions volume of POSIX.1\(hy2017, +.IR "Chapter 8" ", " "Environment Variables", +.IR "Section 12.2" ", " "Utility Syntax Guidelines" +.P +The System Interfaces volume of POSIX.1\(hy2017, +.IR "\fIchown\fR\^(\|)" +.\" +.SH COPYRIGHT +Portions of this text are reprinted and reproduced in electronic form +from IEEE Std 1003.1-2017, Standard for Information Technology +-- Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX), The Open Group Base +Specifications Issue 7, 2018 Edition, +Copyright (C) 2018 by the Institute of +Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc and The Open Group. +In the event of any discrepancy between this version and the original IEEE and +The Open Group Standard, the original IEEE and The Open Group Standard +is the referee document.
