If the destination is a directory, then the \fIfile\fP is moved into \fIdirectory\fP with its original file-name. If the target file already exists, it is overwritten. .PP The mode is set to 755; the \fB-m\fP option may be used to specify an alternate mode. .PP The \fB-o\fP and \fB-g\fP options may be used to specify an alternate owner and/or group, respectively. .PP The \fB-s\fP option causes the file to be stripped. It is an error to attempt to strip a file not in the \fIa.out\fP format, but not to attempt to strip a file that has already been stripped. .PP \fIInstall\fP refuses to move a file onto itself. .SH "RETURN VALUE" Upon successful completion a value of 0 is returned. Otherwise, a value of 1 is returned. .SH "SEE ALSO" chgrp(1), chmod(1), cp(1), mv(1), strip(1), a.out(5), chown(8)
