       NAME
             install - (BSD) 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.
