NOM
       groupdel - Supprimer un groupe

SYNOPSIS
       groupdel [options] GROUP

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.

AVERTISSEMENTS
       Vous ne pouvez pas supprimer le groupe primaire d'un utilisateur
       existant. Vous devez supprimer l'utilisateur auparavant.
