| 51 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
|---|
| 52 | The file(s) are copied to the target file or directory. If the |
|---|
| 53 | destination is a directory and the -d flag is given, the directory is |
|---|
| 54 | created. Otherwise, the \fIfile\fP is moved into \fIdirectory\fP with |
|---|
| 55 | its original file-name. If the target file already exists, it is replaced. |
|---|
| 56 | .PP |
|---|
| 57 | The \fB-c\fP option is present for compatibility only; it has no |
|---|
| 58 | effect. |
|---|
| 59 | .PP |
|---|
| 60 | The \fB-d\fP option causes all components of the specified directory to |
|---|
| 61 | be created if they do not already exist. |
|---|
| 62 | .PP |
|---|
| 63 | The mode is set to 755; the \fB-m\fP option may be used to specify |
|---|
| 64 | an alternate mode. |
|---|
| 65 | .PP |
|---|
| 66 | The \fB-o\fP and \fB-g\fP options may be used to specify an owner |
|---|
| 67 | and/or group, respectively. |
|---|
| 68 | .PP |
|---|
| 69 | The \fB-s\fP option causes the file to be stripped. If the file |
|---|
| 70 | cannot be stripped, it will still be installed. |
|---|
| 71 | .PP |
|---|
| 72 | \fIInstall\fP refuses to move a file onto itself. |
|---|
| 73 | .PP |
|---|
| 74 | Installing ``/dev/null'' creates an empty file. |
|---|
| 75 | .SH "RETURN VALUE" |
|---|
| 76 | Upon successful completion a value of 0 is returned. Otherwise, a |
|---|
| 77 | value of 1 is returned. |
|---|
| 78 | .SH "SEE ALSO" |
|---|
| 79 | chgrp(1), chmod(1), cp(1), mv(1), strip(1), chown(8) |
