group create

group create group_name_list {-attribute extended_rgy_attr_list | attribute value}

Options

-attribute value
As an alternative to using the -attribute option with an attribute list, you can change individual attribute options by prepending a - (hyphen) to any attributes listed in Attributes in this reference page. You cannot use this option to specify ERAs; it is only for the standard attributes described in Attributes.

-attribute extended_rgy_attr_list
Allows you to specify attributes, including ERAs, by using an attribute list rather than using the -attribute value option. The format of an attribute list is as follows:

{{extended_rgy_attr_list value}…{extended_rgy_attr_list value}}

See the OSF DCE Administration Guide for more information on ERAs.

Description
The group create operation creates a new group in the registry database. The argument is a list of names of groups to be created. Options are used to specify the attributes of the newly created group. All options are applied to all groups in the argument. This operation returns an empty string on success.

Privileges Required
You must have i (insert) permission to the directory in which the group is to be created.
