group

The group specified by name or number.

Examples

$link = 'output.html';
symlink($target, $link);

lchgrp($link, 8);
?>

Notes

Note: This function will not work on remote files as the file to be examined must be accessible via the server's filesystem.

Note: When safe mode is enabled, PHP checks whether the files or directories being operated upon have the same UID (owner) as the script that is being executed.

Note: This function is not implemented on Windows platforms.
