I added a similar function |

indeed but as it uses ChrootError, it will require a bunch of refactor for 4 lines |

If the option is --from=:foo, could foo be a group name? This code assumes it is always a numeric group ID, I think. The docs (for chown, but I think it applies to chgrp also) seem to imply that it can be a group name: https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/html_node/chown-invocation.html
Also, the docs for chgrp say
Change a file’s ownership only if it has current attributes specified by old-owner. old-owner has the same form as new-owner described above.
new-owner is described in the chown documentation as allowing anything of the form [USER] [: [GROUP]]. If that's true, then we should check for user names and IDs too.
All of these can be fixed separately (and common code refactored from chgrp, chown, and chroot), I just wanted to share my understanding of the GNU documentation.

Probably yeah
I think it can be done as a follow up :)

This test fails on my machine. And I don't know if the error message is deliberately different from GNU chgrp. With GNU it is about an invalid user and not about an invalid group.
$ cargo run --features=unix -q chgrp --from nonexistent_group staff README.md
chgrp: invalid group: 'staff'
$ chgrp --from nonexistent_group staff README.md
chgrp: invalid user: ‘nonexistent_group’

Did you see that a bunch of CI jobs fail? |

missed it, thanks! |
Great :) |
Should make tests/chgrp/from pass
