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.

      -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.
