install(1)             (BSD Compatibility Package )              install(1)


   NAME
         install - install files

   SYNOPSIS
         /usr/ucb/install [ -cs ] [ -g group ] [ -m mode ] [ -o owner ] file1
         file2

         /usr/ucb/install [ -cs ] [ -g group ] [ -m mode ] [ -o owner ]
         file...directory

         /usr/ucb/install -d [ -g group ] [ -m mode ] [ -o owner ] directory

   DESCRIPTION
         Install is used within makefiles to copy new versions of files into a
         destination directory and to create the destination directory itself.

         The first two forms are similar to the cp(1) command with the
         addition that executable files can be stripped during the copy and
         the owner, group, and mode of the installed file(s) can be given.

         The third form can be used to create a destination directory with the
         required owner, group and permissions.

         Note:  install uses no special privileges to copy files from one
         place to another.  The implications of this are:

               ⊕  You must have permission to read the files to be installed.
               ⊕  You must have permission to copy into the destination file
                  or directory.
               ⊕  You must have permission to change the modes on the final
                  copy of the file if you want to use the -m option to change
                  modes.
               ⊕  You must be superuser if you want to specify the ownership
                  of the installed file with -o.  If you are not the super-
                  user, or if -o is not in effect, the installed file will be
                  owned by you, regardless of who owns the original.

   OPTIONS
         -g group       Set the group ownership of the installed file or
                        directory.  (staff by default)

         -m mode        Set the mode for the installed file or directory.
                        (0755 by default)

         -o owner       If run as root, set the ownership of the installed
                        file to the user-ID of owner.

         -c             Copy files.  In fact install always copies files, but
                        the -c option is retained for backwards compatibility
                        with old shell scripts that might otherwise break.

   install(1)             (BSD Compatibility Package )              install(1)


         -s             Strip executable files as they are copied.

         -d             Create a directory.  Missing parent directories are
                        created as required as in mkdir -p.  If the directory
                        already exists, the owner, group and mode will be set
                        to the values given on the command line.
