chgrp

chgrp [options] newgroup files

Change the ownership of one or more files to newgroup. newgroup is either a group ID number or a group name located in /etc/group. You must own the file or be a privileged user to succeed with this command.

Options

-h

-R

Recursively descend through the directory, including subdirectories and symbolic links, setting the specified group ID as it proceeds.
