       NNeewwggrrpp  changes  the  group  identification of its caller,
       analogously to _l_o_g_i_n_(_1_).  The same person  remains  logged
       in,  and  the current directory is unchanged, but calcula-
       tions of access permissions to files  are  performed  with
       respect to the new group ID.

       If  no group is specified, the GID is changed to the login
       GID.

       NNeewwggrrpp is known to the shell, which executes  it  directly
       without a fork.
