DESCRIPTION

       Change the group of each FILE to GROUP.

OPTIONS

       --help Print help information.

       -c, --changes
              like verbose but report only when a change is made

       -f, --silent

       --quiet
              suppress most error messages

       -v, --verbose
              output a diagnostic for every file processed

       --preserve-root
              fail to operate recursively on '/'

       --no-preserve-root
              do not treat '/' specially (the default)

       --reference <RFILE>
              use RFILE's group rather than specifying GROUP values

       --from <GROUP>
              change the group only if its current group matches GROUP

       -R, --recursive
              operate on files and directories recursively

       -H     if a command line argument is a symbolic link to a directory, traverse it

       -L     traverse every symbolic link to a directory encountered

       -P     do not traverse any symbolic links (default)

       --dereference
              affect  the  referent  of  each symbolic link (this is the default), rather than the symbolic link
              itself

       -h, --no-dereference
              affect symbolic links instead of any referenced file (useful only on systems that can  change  the
              ownership of a symlink)

       -V, --version
              Print version
