    INSTALL(1)	    UNIX Programmer's Manual	       INSTALL(1)

    NAME
         install - install binaries

    SYNOPSIS
         install [-cs] [-f flags] [-g group] [-m mode] [-o owner]
         file1 file2

         install [-cs] [-f flags] [-g group] [-m mode] [-o owner]
         file1 ... fileN directory

    DESCRIPTION
         The file(s) are moved (or copied if the -c option is speci-
         fied) 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.

         -c      Copy the file.  This flag turns off the default
    	     behavior of install where it deletes the original
    	     file after creating the target.

         -f      Specify the target's file flags.  (See chflags(1)
    	     for a list of possible flags and their meanings.)

         -g      Specify a group.

         -m      Specify an alternate mode.  The default mode is set
    	     to rwxr-xr-x (0755).  The specified mode may be
    	     either an octal or symbolic value; see chmod(1) for
    	     a description of possible mode values.

         -o      Specify an owner.

         -s      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.

         By default, install preserves all file flags, with the
         exception of the ``nodump'' flag.

         The install utility attempts to prevent moving a file onto
         itself.

         Installing /dev/null creates an empty file.

         Upon successful completion a value of 0 is returned.  Other-
         wise, a value of 1 is returned.
