    _\bC_\bh_\bg_\br_\bp changes the group-ID of the _\bf_\bi_\bl_\be_\bs to _\bg_\br_\bo_\bu_\bp.    The group
    may be either a decimal GID or a group name found in the
    group-ID file.

    The user invoking _\bc_\bh_\bg_\br_\bp must belong to the specified group
    and be the owner of the file, or be the super-user.

    No errors, except for usage errors, are reported when the -\b-f\bf
    (force) option is given.

    When the -\b-R\bR option is given, _\bc_\bh_\bg_\br_\bp recursively descends its
    directory arguments setting the specified group-ID.  When
    symbolic links are encountered, their group is changed, but
    they are not traversed.
