| db222088 | 35 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
| 8d09ec9f KB |
36 | The file(s) are moved (or copied if the \fB-c\fP option is specified) |
| 37 | to the target file or directory. If the destination is a directory, then | |
| 38 | the \fIfile\fP is moved into \fIdirectory\fP with its original file-name. | |
| 39 | If the target file already exists, it is overwritten. | |
| db222088 | 40 | .PP |
| 8d09ec9f KB |
41 | The mode is set to 755; the \fB-m\fP option may be used to specify |
| 42 | an alternate mode. | |
| db222088 | 43 | .PP |
| 033e16ea KB |
44 | The \fB-o\fP and \fB-g\fP options may be used to specify an owner |
| 45 | and/or group, respectively. | |
| db222088 | 46 | .PP |
| 8d09ec9f KB |
47 | The \fB-s\fP option causes the file to be stripped. It is an error |
| 48 | to attempt to strip a file not in the \fIa.out\fP format, but not to | |
| 49 | attempt to strip a file that has already been stripped. | |
| db222088 | 50 | .PP |
| 8d09ec9f | 51 | \fIInstall\fP refuses to move a file onto itself. |
