install(1-ucb)          (BSD Compatibility Package)          install(1-ucb)

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.

     In the first two forms, install will create the required target direc-
     tory if it does not exist.

     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 (or
        group) of the installed file with -o. If you are not the super-
        user, or if -o (or -g) is not in effect, the installed file will be
        owned by you, regardless of who owns the original.

OPTIONS
     -g group  If run as root, set the group of the installed file to the
               group-ID of group (bin by default if super-user).

     -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 (bin by default if super-user).

     -c        This option is retained for backwards compatibility but is
               otherwise ignored.

     -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 (must be super-user to set owner and
               group).
