install(1M)                      DG/UX 5.4.2                     install(1M)


NAME
       install - install commands

SYNOPSIS
       /etc/install [ -c  dira] [ -f  dirb] [ -g  group] [ -i ] [ -m  mode]
       [ -n  dirc] [ -o ] [ -s ] [ -u  user] file [dirx ...]

DESCRIPTION
       Install is a command most commonly used in makefiles (see make(1)) to
       install a file (updated target file) in a specific place within a
       file system.  Each file is installed by copying it into the
       appropriate directory, thereby retaining the mode and owner of the
       original command.  The program prints messages telling the user
       exactly which files it is replacing or creating and where they are
       going.

       If you give no options or directories (dirx ...), install searches a
       set of default directories ( /bin, /usr/bin, /etc, /lib , and
       /usr/lib, in that order) for a file with the same name as file.  When
       the first occurrence is found, install issues a message saying that
       it is overwriting that file with file, and proceeds to do so.  If the
       file is not found, the program states this and exits without further
       action.

       If you specify one or more directories (dirx ...)  after file, those
       directories will be searched before the directories specified in the
       default list.

       Options are:


       -c  dira  Install a new command (file) in the directory specified by
                 dira, only if it is not found.  If it is found, install
                 issues a message saying that the file already exists, and
                 exits without overwriting it.  This option can be used
                 alone or with the -s option.

       -f  dirb  Install file in given directory, whether or not one already
                 exists.  If the file being installed does not already
                 exist, the mode and owner of the new file are set to 755
                 and bin, respectively.  If the file already exists, the
                 mode and owner of the file stay the same.  This option can
                 be used alone or with the -o or -s options.

       -g  group Set the group of file to group.  This option is available
                 only to the superuser.

       -i        Ignore the default directory list, searching only through
                 the given directories (dirx ...).  This option can be used
                 alone or with any other options other than -c and -f.

       -m  mode  Set the mode of file to mode.  This option is available
                 only to the superuser.

install(1M)                      DG/UX 5.4.2                     install(1M)


       -n  dirc  Put file in directory dirc, if the file is not found in any
                 of the searched directories; set the mode and owner of the
                 new file to 755 and bin, respectively.  This option can be
                 used alone or with any other options except -c and -f.

       -o        Save file, if found, by copying it to OLDfile in the
                 directory in which the file was found.  This option is
                 useful when installing a normally text busy file such as
                 /bin/sh or /etc/getty, where the existing file cannot be
                 removed.  May be used alone or with any other options other
                 than -c.

       -s        Suppress printing of messages other than error messages.
                 This option can be used alone or with any other options.

       -u user   Set the owner of file to user.  This option is available
                 only to the superuser.
