NAME
install - copy files and set their attributes
SYNOPSIS
install [options] [-s] [--strip] source dest
install [options] [-s] [--strip] source... directory
install [options] [-d,--directory] directory...
Options:
[-c] [-g group] [-m mode] [-o owner] [--group=group]
[--mode=mode] [--owner=owner] [--help] [--version]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents the GNU version of install.
install copies files and sets their permission modes and,
if possible, their owner and group. Used similarly to cp;
typically used in Makefiles to copy programs into their
destination directories. It can also be used to create
the destination directories and any leading directories,
and to set the final directory's modes. It refuses to
copy files onto themselves.
OPTIONS
-c Ignored; for compatibility with old Unix versions
of install.
-d, --directory
Create each given directory and its leading direc-
tories, if they do not already exist. Set the
owner, group and mode as given on the command line
or to the defaults. Also gives any leading direc-
tories that are created those attributes. This is
different from the SunOS 4.x install, which gives
directories that it creates the default attributes.
-g, --group group
Set the group ownership of the installed file or
directory to the group ID of group (default is pro-
cess's current group). group may also be a numeric
group ID.
-m, --mode mode
Set the permission mode for the installed file or
directory to mode, which can be either an octal
number, or a symbolic mode as in chmod, with 0 as
the point of departure. The default mode is 0755.
-o, --owner owner
If run as root, set the ownership of the installed
file to the user ID of owner (default is root).
owner may also be a numeric user ID.
-s, --strip
Strip the symbol tables from installed programs.
