NAME
       groupdel - delete a group definition from the system

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/sbin/groupdel group

DESCRIPTION
       The  groupdel  utility  deletes	a group definition from the system. It
       deletes the appropriate entry from the /etc/group file.

		An existing group name to be deleted.

SEE ALSO
       users(1B),   groupadd(1M),   groupmod(1M),   logins(1M),	  useradd(1M),
       userdel(1M), usermod(1M), attributes(5)

NOTES
       The groupdel utility only deletes a group definition  that  is  in  the
       local  /etc/group file. If a network nameservice such as NIS or NIS+ is
       being used to supplement the  local  /etc/group	file  with  additional
       entries,	 groupdel  cannot  change  information supplied by the network
       nameservice.

       groupdel fails if a group entry (a single line in  /etc/group)  exceeds
       2047 characters.
