groupdel - Supprimer un groupe

SYNOPSIS

groupdel [ options] GROUPE

DESCRIPTION

The groupdel command modifies the system account files, deleting all entries that refer to GROUP. The named group must exist.

OPTIONS

The options which apply to the groupdel command are:
-f, --force
This option forces the removal of the group, even if there's some user having the group as the primary one.
-h, --help
Afficher un message d'aide et quitter.
-R, --root CHROOT_DIR
Apply changes in the CHROOT_DIR directory and use the configuration files from the CHROOT_DIR directory. Only absolute paths are supported.
-P, --prefix PREFIX_DIR
Apply changes in the PREFIX_DIR directory and use the configuration files from the PREFIX_DIR directory. This option does not chroot and is intended for preparing a cross-compilation target. Some limitations: NIS and LDAP users/groups are not verified. PAM authentication is using the host files. No SELINUX support.
