DESCRIPTION
Chgrp
changes the group-ID of the

to

The group may be either a decimal GID or
a group name found in the group-ID file.
The user invoking
chgrp
must belong
to the specified group and be the owner of the file, or be the super-user.
No errors, except for usage errors, are reported when the
