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.
