install(1B)	   SunOS/BSD Compatibility Package Commands	   install(1B)

NAME
       install - install files

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/ucb/install	 [-cs] [-g group] [-m mode] [-o owner] filename1 file‐
       name2

       /usr/ucb/install	 [-cs]	[-g group]  [-m mode]  [-o owner]  filename...
       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
       -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.

       -d	       Create a directory. Missing parent directories are cre‐
		       ated 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.

       -s	       Strip executable files as they are copied.

       -g group	       Set the group ownership of the installed file or direc‐
		       tory. (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.
