NAME
       install - copy files and set attributes

SYNOPSIS
       install [OPTION]... SOURCE DEST		 (1st format)
       install [OPTION]... SOURCE... DIRECTORY	 (2nd format)
       install -d [OPTION]... DIRECTORY...	 (3rd format)

DESCRIPTION
       In  the first two formats, copy SOURCE to DEST or multiple SOURCE(s) to
       the existing DIRECTORY, while setting permission modes and owner/group.
       In the third format, create all components of the given DIRECTORY(ies).

       --backup[=CONTROL] make a backup of each existing destination file

       -b     like --backup but does not accept an argument

       -c     (ignored)

       -d, --directory
	      treat all arguments as directory names; create all components of
	      the specified directories

       -D     create all leading components of DEST except the last, then copy
	      SOURCE to DEST;  useful in the 1st format

       -g, --group=GROUP
	      set group ownership, instead of process' current group

       -m, --mode=MODE
	      set permission mode (as in chmod), instead of rwxr-xr-x

       -o, --owner=OWNER
	      set ownership (super-user only)

       -p, --preserve-timestamps
	      apply access/modification times of SOURCE files to corresponding
	      destination files

       -s, --strip
	      strip symbol tables, only for 1st and 2nd formats

       -S, --suffix=SUFFIX override the usual backup suffix

       -v, --verbose
	      print the name of each directory as it is created

       --help display this help and exit

       --version
	      output version information and exit

       The  backup  suffix  is	`~',  unless  set  with	  --suffix   or	  SIM‐
       PLE_BACKUP_SUFFIX.   The version control method may be selected via the
       --backup option or through the  VERSION_CONTROL	environment  variable.
       Here are the values:

       none, off
	      never make backups (even if --backup is given)

       numbered, t
	      make numbered backups

       existing, nil
	      numbered if numbered backups exist, simple otherwise

       simple, never
	      always make simple backups
