+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm
+.Op Fl l
+.Op Ar group
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+command changes a user to a new primary group
+.Pq real and effective group ID
+by starting a new shell.
+The user remains logged in and the current directory
+and file creation mask remain unchanged.
+The user is always given a new shell even if
+the primary group change fails.
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm
+command accepts the following options:
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It Fl l
+The environment is changed to what would be expected if the user
+actually logged in again.
+This simulates a full login.
+.El
+.Pp
+The
+.Ar group
+is a group name or non-negative numeric group ID from the group database.
+The real and effective group IDs are set to
+.Ar group
+or the group ID associated with the group name.
+.Pp
+If
+.Ar group
+is not specified,
+.Nm
+restores the user's real and effective group IDs to the user's
+primary group specified in the password database.
+The user's supplementary group IDs are restored to the set specified
+for the user in the group database.
+.Pp
+If the user is not a member of the specified group, and the group
+requires a password, the user will be prompted for the group password.

+password from the group database.
