.SH "NAZWA"
groupdel \- delete a group
.SH "STRESZCZENIE"
.HP \w'\fBgroupdel\fR\ 'u
\fBgroupdel\fR [\fIopcje\fR] \fIGRUPA\fR
.SH "OPIS"
.PP
The
\fBgroupdel\fR
command modifies the system account files, deleting all entries that refer to
\fIGROUP\fR\&. The named group must exist\&.
.SH "OPCJE"
.PP
The options which apply to the
\fBgroupdel\fR
command are:
.PP
\fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-help\fR
.RS 4
Wyświetlenie komunikatu pomocy i zakończenie dzia\(/lania\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-R\fR, \fB\-\-root\fR\ \&\fICHROOT_DIR\fR
.RS 4
Apply changes in the
\fICHROOT_DIR\fR
directory and use the configuration files from the
\fICHROOT_DIR\fR
directory\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-P\fR, \fB\-\-prefix\fR\ \&\fIPREFIX_DIR\fR
.RS 4
Apply changes in the
\fIPREFIX_DIR\fR
directory and use the configuration files from the
\fIPREFIX_DIR\fR
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\&.
.RE
.SH "OSTRZEŻENIA"
.PP
You may not remove the primary group of any existing user\&. You must remove the user before you remove the group\&.
.PP
You should manually check all file systems to ensure that no files remain owned by this group\&.
.SH "CONFIGURATION"
.PP
The following configuration variables in
/etc/login\&.defs
change the behavior of this tool:
.PP
\fBMAX_MEMBERS_PER_GROUP\fR (number)
.RS 4
Maximum members per group entry\&. When the maximum is reached, a new group entry (line) is started in
/etc/group
(with the same name, same password, and same GID)\&.
.sp
The default value is 0, meaning that there are no limits in the number of members in a group\&.
.sp
This feature (split group) permits to limit the length of lines in the group file\&. This is useful to make sure that lines for NIS groups are not larger than 1024 characters\&.
.sp
If you need to enforce such limit, you can use 25\&.
.sp
Note: split groups may not be supported by all tools (even in the Shadow toolsuite)\&. You should not use this variable unless you really need it\&.
.RE
.SH "PLIKI"
.PP
/etc/group
.RS 4
