NAME
       install - install binaries

SYNOPSIS
       install [ -c ] [ -q ] [ -r ] [ -m mode ] [ -o owner ] [ -g group ] [ -s
       ] binary destination

DESCRIPTION
       Install copies binary to destination.  If destination  already  exists,
       it  is  removed	before	binary	is  copied.   If  the destination is a
       directory then binary is copied into the destination directory with its
       original	 file-name.   The -c option is kept for backward compatibility
       with older shell scripts that invoke the install command.  The -q  flag
       sets install in "quick" mode.  The -r flag causes install to run ranlib
       on binary (an archive) after installing it in destination.

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

       The  destination file is changed to owner root; the -o owner option may
       be used to specify a different owner.

       The destination file is changed to group staff; the -g group option may
       be used to specify a different group.

       If  the	-s  option  is	specified  the	binary is stripped after being
       installed.  Additional options to the  -s  option  are  specified  -sX,
       where X is chosen among the options available via the strip(1) command.
       Currently implemented are:
	      -sX — see strip -X
	      -sx — see strip -x
	      -sA — see strip -A
	      -sS — see strip -S -sSd — see strip -S -d
	      -sgg — see strip -gg
	      -sAn — see strip -A -n

       The install utility refuses to move a file onto itself.
