NAME
       newgrp - log in to a new group


SYNOPSIS
       newgrp [group [command]]

       newgrp [-c command] [group]


DESCRIPTION
       newgrp changes the group identification of its caller, analogously to login(1). The same person remains
       logged in, and the current directory is unchanged, but calculations of access permissions to files are
       performed with respect to the new group ID.

       If no group is specified, the GID is changed to the login GID.

       An optional command can be specified, which is invoked after group change instead of the user’s shell.


OPTIONS
       -c, --command=command
           Pass command to the user’s shell with the -c option.

       -h, --help
           Display help text and exit.

       -V, --version
           Print version and exit.


FILES
       /etc/group, /etc/passwd
