@(#)install.1 6.7 (Berkeley) 12/31/89

C 5 install - install binaries install [ -cs ] [ -m mode ] [ -o owner ] [ -g group ] file1 file2; or file1 ... fileN directory The file(s) are moved (or copied if the -c option is specified) to the target file or directory. If the destination is a directory, then the file is moved into directory with its original filename. If the target file already exists, it is overwritten if permissions allow.

The mode is set to 755; the -m option may be used to specify an alternate mode. The specified mode may be either an octal or symbolic value; see chmod (1) for a description of possible mode values.

The -o and -g options may be used to specify an owner and/or group, respectively.

The -s option causes the file to be stripped. Install exec's the command strip (1) to strip binaries so that install can be portable over a large number of systems and binary types.

Install refuses to move a file onto itself.

Installing ``/dev/null'' creates an empty file.

Upon successful completion a value of 0 is returned. Otherwise, a value of 1 is returned. chgrp(1), chmod(1), cp(1), mv(1), strip(1), a.out(5), chown(8)
