       This manual page  documents  the  GNU  version  of  cchhggrrpp.
       cchhggrrpp  changes  the  group ownership of each given file to
       the named group, which can be either a  group  name  or  a
       numeric group ID.

       _-_c_, _-_-_s_h_o_w_-_c_h_a_n_g_e_s
              Verbosely describe only files whose ownership actu-
              ally changes.

       _-_f_, _-_-_s_i_l_e_n_t_, _-_-_q_u_i_e_t
              Do not print error messages about files whose  own-
              ership cannot be changed.

       _-_v_, _-_-_v_e_r_b_o_s_e
              Verbosely describe ownership changes.

       _-_R_, _-_-_r_e_c_u_r_s_i_v_e
              Recursively  change  ownership  of  directories and
              their contents.

       The long-named options can be introduced with `+' as  well
       as  `--', for compatibility with previous releases.  Even-
       tually support for `+' will  be  removed,  because  it  is
       incompatible with the POSIX.2 standard.
