     DESCRIPTION
          This documentation is no longer being maintained and may be
          inaccurate or incomplete.  The Texinfo documentation is now
          the authoritative source.

          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
               directories, 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 directories
               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
               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 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.

          --help
               Print a usage message on standard output and exit
               successfully.

          --version
               Print version information on standard output then exit
               successfully.
