newgrp - log in to a new group
newgrp [group]
newgrp changes the group identification of its caller, analogously to
login(1). The same person remains logged in, and the current
directory is unchanged, but calculations of access permissions to
files are performed with respect to the new group ID.
If no group is specified, the GID is changed to the login GID.
