OSX equivalent to sudo chgrp -R www-data <directory>

On Ubuntu you use "www-data" because that is the user the Apache process runs as. You can identify the user Apache will use by checking the config file. On my Mac, it looks like this:
$ cat /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
[...]
User _www
Group _www
[...]
So one way to make your files writable would be to chgrp
them to _www
.

I normally do
sudo chgrp -R www-data <directory>
on Ubuntu to set a folder writable by the Apache process. What's the Mac OS X equivalent for
www-data
?
