ADDGROUP/RMGROUP(8)	  BSD System Manager's Manual	   ADDGROUP/RMGROUP(8)

NAME
     addgroup, rmgroup - add or delete groups from the system

SYNOPSIS
     addgroup [-vd] [-g gid] [-m members] [groupname...]
     rmgroup [-v] [groupname...]

DESCRIPTION
     The addgroup program adds or deletes groups from the system group file,
     group(5).	When no arguments are provided, addgroup or rmgroup interac-
     tively prompt the user for any necessary information.  If all necessary
     information for creating or deleting the group is provided on the command
     line, the user will not be prompted at all.

     The -v flag causes addgroup or rmgroup to display more information about
     what it is doing.

     addgroup -d is synonymous with rmgroup.

     The -m flag to addgroup can be used to specify initial members for the
     group.  The -g argument to addgroup may be used to specify the group ID
     chosen for the new group.	If it is not specified, the next unused group
     ID greater than 100 will be used.

SEE ALSO
     adduser(8),  group(5)

HISTORY
     The addgroup and rmgroup commands first appeared in BSD/OS and are cur-
     rently under development.
