NAME

install − install files

SYNOPSIS

install [ −c ] [ −m mode ] [ −o owner ] [ −s ] file destination

DESCRIPTION

File is moved (or copied if −c is specified) to destination. If destination already exists, it is removed before file is moved.  If the destination is a directory then file is moved into the destination directory with its original file-name. 

The mode for Destination is set to 755; the −m mode option may be used to specify a different mode. 

Destination is changed to owner root; the −o owner option may be used to specify a different owner. 

The −s option is only applicable to binary files in a.out(5) format. If the −s option is specified the binary file is stripped after being installed. 

Install refuses to move a file onto itself. 

SEE ALSO

chmod(1), cp(1), mv(1), strip(1), chown(8)

BUGS

Should be possible to move multiple files at a time, like mv(1) or cp(1).
