       This manual page documents the  GNU  version  of	iinnssttaallll.
       iinnssttaallll	copies files and sets their permission modes and,
       if possible, their owner and group.  Used similarly to ccpp;
       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.

   OOPPTTIIOONNSS
       _-_c     Ignored;	for  compatibility with old Unix versions
	      of install.

       _-_d_, _-_-_d_i_r_e_c_t_o_r_y
	      Create each given directory and its leading  direc-
	      tories,  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 direc-
	      tories that are created those attributes.	This  is
	      different	from  the SunOS 4.x _i_n_s_t_a_l_l, which gives
	      directories that it creates the default attributes.

       _-_g_, _-_-_g_r_o_u_p _g_r_o_u_p
	      Set  the	group  ownership of the installed file or
	      directory to the group ID of _g_r_o_u_p (default is pro-
	      cess's current group).  _g_r_o_u_p may also be a numeric
	      group ID.

       _-_m_, _-_-_m_o_d_e _m_o_d_e
	      Set the permission mode for the installed	file  or
	      directory	to  _m_o_d_e,  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_, _-_-_o_w_n_e_r _o_w_n_e_r
	      If run as root, set the ownership of the	installed
	      file  to	the  user  ID of _o_w_n_e_r (default is root).
	      _o_w_n_e_r may also be a numeric user ID.

       _-_s_, _-_-_s_t_r_i_p
	      Strip the symbol tables from installed programs.
