INSTALL(1) General Commands Manual INSTALL(1) NAME install -- install binaries SYNOPSIS install [-cs] [-m mode] [-o owner] [-g group] file1 file2 install [-cs] [-m mode] [-o owner] [-g group] file1 ... fileN directory DESCRIPTION The file(s) are moved (or copied if the -c option is specified) to the tar- get file or directory. If the destination is a directory, then the file is moved into directory with its original filename. If the target file al- ready exists, it is overwritten if permissions allow. -m Specify an alternate mode. The default mode is set to 755. 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. -g Specify a group. -s Install exec's the command strip(1) to strip binaries so that in- stall can be portable over a large number of systems and binary types. Install refuses to move a file onto itself. Installing /dev/null creates an empty file. Upon successful completion a value of 0 is returned. Otherwise, a value of 1 is returned.
