| 11 | == NAME | |
| 12 | ||
| 13 | newgrp - log in to a new group | |
| 14 | ||
| 15 | == SYNOPSIS | |
| 16 | ||
| 704fd884 | 17 | *newgrp* [_group_] |
| a7574d88 MB |
18 | |
| 19 | == DESCRIPTION | |
| 20 | ||
| 21 | *newgrp* changes the group identification of its caller, analogously to *login*(1). The same person remains logged in, and the current directory is unchanged, but calculations of access permissions to files are performed with respect to the new group ID. | |
| 22 | ||
| 23 | If no group is specified, the GID is changed to the login GID. | |
