-/* Copy files and set 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:
- -g, --group=GROUP
- Set the group ownership of the installed file or directory
- to the group ID of GROUP (default is process'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 is an octal number (default is u=rwx,g=rx,o=rx).
-
- -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.
-
- -c No effect. For compatibility with old Unix versions of install.
-
- -s, --strip
- Strip the symbol tables from installed files.
-
- -p, --preserve-timestamps
- Retain creation and modification timestamps when installing files.
-
- -d, --directory
- Create a directory and its leading directories, if they
- do not already exist. Set the owner, group and mode
- as given on the command line. Any leading directories
- that are created are also given those attributes.
- This is different from the SunOS 4.0 install, which gives
- directories that it creates the default attributes.
-
- -D
- Like the -d option, but a file is installed, along with the directory.
- Useful when installing into a new directory, and the install
- process doesn't properly comprehend making directories.
