+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+utility sets the group ID of the file named by each
+.Ar file
+operand to the
+.Ar group
+ID specified by the group operand,
+or to the group of the given
+.Ar rfile ,
+specified by the
+.Fl Fl reference
+argument.
+.Pp
+Options:
+.Bl -tag -width Ds
+.It Fl H
+If the
+.Fl R
+option is specified, symbolic links on the command line are followed.
+(Symbolic links encountered in the tree traversal are not followed.)
+.It Fl L
+If the
+.Fl R
+option is specified, all symbolic links are followed.
+.It Fl P
+If the
+.Fl R
+option is specified, no symbolic links are followed.
+.It Fl R
+Change the group ID for the file hierarchies rooted
+in the files instead of just the files themselves.
+.It Fl f
+The force option ignores errors, except for usage errors and doesn't
+query about strange modes (unless the user does not have proper permissions).
+.It Fl h
+If
+.Ar file
+is a symbolic link, the group of the link is changed.
+.It Fl v
+Cause
+.Nm
+to be verbose, showing files as they are processed.
+.El
+.Pp
+If
+.Fl h
+is not given, unless the
+.Fl H
+or
+.Fl L
+option is set,
+.Nm
+on a symbolic link always succeeds and has no effect.
+The
+.Fl H ,
+.Fl L
+and
+.Fl P
+options are ignored unless the
+.Fl R
+option is specified.
+In addition, these options override each other and the
+command's actions are determined by the last one specified.
+The default is as if the
+.Fl P
+option had been specified.
+.Pp
+The
+.Ar group
+operand can be either a group name from the group database,
+or a numeric group ID.
+Since it is valid to have a group name that is numeric (and
+doesn't have the numeric ID that matches its name) the name lookup
+is always done first.
+Preceding the ID with a ``#'' character will force it to be taken
+as a number.
+.Pp
+The user invoking
+.Nm
+must belong to the specified group and be the owner of the file,
+or be the super-user.
+.Pp
+Unless invoked by the super-user,
+.Nm
+clears the set-user-id and set-group-id bits on a file to prevent
+accidental or mischievous creation of set-user-id or set-group-id
+programs.

+.Sh STANDARDS
+The
+.Nm
+utility is expected to be POSIX 1003.2 compatible.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fl v
+option and the use of ``#'' to force a numeric group ID
+are extensions to
+.St -p1003.2 .
