+.SH "NAME"
+groupmod \- modify a group definition on the system
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.HP \w'\fBgroupmod\fR\ 'u
+\fBgroupmod\fR [\fIoptions\fR] \fIGROUP\fR
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+The
+\fBgroupmod\fR
+command modifies the definition of the specified
+\fIGROUP\fR
+by modifying the appropriate entry in the group database\&.
+.SH "OPTIONS"
+.PP
+The options which apply to the
+\fBgroupmod\fR
+command are:
+.PP
+\fB\-a\fR, \fB\-\-append\fR\ \&\fIGID\fR
+.RS 4
+If group members are specified with \-U, append them to the existing member list, rather than replacing it\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fB\-g\fR, \fB\-\-gid\fR\ \&\fIGID\fR
+.RS 4
+The group ID of the given
+\fIGROUP\fR
+will be changed to
+\fIGID\fR\&.
+.sp
+The value of
+\fIGID\fR
+must be a non\-negative decimal integer\&. This value must be unique, unless the
+\fB\-o\fR
+option is used\&.
+.sp
+Users who use the group as primary group will be updated to keep the group as their primary group\&.
+.sp
+Any files that have the old group ID and must continue to belong to
+\fIGROUP\fR, must have their group ID changed manually\&.
+.sp
+No checks will be performed with regard to the
+\fBGID_MIN\fR,
+\fBGID_MAX\fR,
+\fBSYS_GID_MIN\fR, or
+\fBSYS_GID_MAX\fR
+from
+/etc/login\&.defs\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-help\fR
+.RS 4
+Display help message and exit\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fB\-n\fR, \fB\-\-new\-name\fR\ \&\fINEW_GROUP\fR
+.RS 4
+The name of the group will be changed from
+\fIGROUP\fR
+to
+\fINEW_GROUP\fR
+name\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fB\-o\fR, \fB\-\-non\-unique\fR
+.RS 4
+When used with the
+\fB\-g\fR
+option, allow to change the group
+\fIGID\fR
+to a non\-unique value\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fB\-p\fR, \fB\-\-password\fR\ \&\fIPASSWORD\fR
+.RS 4
+The encrypted password, as returned by
+\fBcrypt\fR(3)\&.
+.sp
+\fBNote:\fR
+This option is not recommended because the password (or encrypted password) will be visible by users listing the processes\&.
+.sp
+You should make sure the password respects the system\*(Aqs password policy\&.
+.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
+.PP
+\fB\-U\fR, \fB\-\-users\fR
+.RS 4
+A list of usernames to add as members of the group\&.
+.sp
+The default behavior (if the
+\fB\-g\fR,
+\fB\-N\fR, and
+\fB\-U\fR
+options are not specified) is defined by the
+\fBUSERGROUPS_ENAB\fR
+variable in
+/etc/login\&.defs\&.
+.RE
+.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
+.PP
+/etc/login\&.defs
+.RS 4
+Shadow password suite configuration\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+/etc/passwd
+.RS 4
+User account information\&.
+.RE

+\fBgroupmod\fR
