+.SH "NAME"
+groupdel \- delete a group
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.HP \w'\fBgroupdel\fR\ 'u
+\fBgroupdel\fR [\fIoptions\fR] \fIGROUP\fR
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+The
+\fBgroupdel\fR
+command modifies the system account files, deleting all entries that refer to
+\fIGROUP\fR\&. The named group must exist\&.
+.SH "OPTIONS"
+.PP
+The options which apply to the
+\fBgroupdel\fR
+command are:
+.PP
+\fB\-f\fR, \fB\-\-force\fR
+.RS 4
+This option forces the removal of the group, even if there\*(Aqs some user having the group as the primary one\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-help\fR
+.RS 4
+Display help message and exit\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fB\-R\fR, \fB\-\-root\fR\ \&\fICHROOT_DIR\fR
+.RS 4
+Apply changes in the
+\fICHROOT_DIR\fR
+directory and use the configuration files from the
+\fICHROOT_DIR\fR
+directory\&. Only absolute paths are supported\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fB\-P\fR, \fB\-\-prefix\fR\ \&\fIPREFIX_DIR\fR
+.RS 4
+Apply changes in the
+\fIPREFIX_DIR\fR
+directory and use the configuration files from the
+\fIPREFIX_DIR\fR
+directory\&. This option does not chroot and is intended for preparing a cross\-compilation target\&. Some limitations: NIS and LDAP users/groups are not verified\&. PAM authentication is using the host files\&. No SELINUX support\&.
+.RE
+.SH "CAVEATS"
+.PP
+You may not remove the primary group of any existing user\&. You must remove the user before you remove the group\&.
+.PP
+You should manually check all file systems to ensure that no files remain owned by this group\&.
+.SH "CONFIGURATION"
+.PP
+The following configuration variables in
+/etc/login\&.defs
+change the behavior of this tool:
+.PP
+\fBMAX_MEMBERS_PER_GROUP\fR (number)
+.RS 4
+Maximum members per group entry\&. When the maximum is reached, a new group entry (line) is started in
+/etc/group
+(with the same name, same password, and same GID)\&.
+.sp
+The default value is 0, meaning that there are no limits in the number of members in a group\&.
+.sp
+This feature (split group) permits to limit the length of lines in the group file\&. This is useful to make sure that lines for NIS groups are not larger than 1024 characters\&.
+.sp
+If you need to enforce such limit, you can use 25\&.
+.sp
+Note: split groups may not be supported by all tools (even in the Shadow toolsuite)\&. You should not use this variable unless you really need it\&.
+.RE
+.SH "FILES"
+.PP
+/etc/group
+.RS 4
+Group account information\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+/etc/gshadow
+.RS 4
+Secure group account information\&.
+.RE
+.SH "EXIT VALUES"
+.PP
+The
+\fBgroupdel\fR
+command exits with the following values:
+.PP
+\fI0\fR
+.RS 4
+success
+.RE
+.PP
+\fI2\fR
+.RS 4
