chgrp:tldr:8b1d1
The command "chgrp" is used to change the group ownership of a file or directory in a UNIX-like operating system. Here is the breakdown of the command:
-
"chgrp": It is the command itself, short for "change group".
-
"-R": It is an option which stands for "recursive". It tells the command to change the group ownership of the specified directory and its subdirectories and files, if any.
-
"${group}": It is a placeholder for the name of the group you want to assign to the directory. You need to replace "${group}" with the actual group name you want to use.
-
"${path-to-directory}": It is a placeholder for the path to the directory you want to change the group ownership of. You need to replace "${path-to-directory}" with the actual path to the directory you want to modify.
So, when you execute the command, it will recursively change the group ownership of the specified directory and all its contents to the specified group.
