安全
权限或系统影响较大，执行前请核对目标。
常用示例
Example
sudo groupmod -n [new_group] [group_name]
Example
sudo groupmod -g [new_id] [group_name]
说明
groupmod modifies the attributes of an existing group on the system. It can change the group name, group ID (GID), or group password. When changing GID, files owned by the group are NOT automatically updated. You must manually find and update file ownership using commands like find / -gid OLDGID -exec chgrp NEWGROUP {} \;. Changing a group name has no effect on file ownership since files reference groups by GID, not name.
