     The file(s) are moved (or copied if the -\b-c\bc option is speci-
     fied) to the target file or directory.  If the destination
     is a directory, then the _\bf_\bi_\bl_\be is moved into _\bd_\bi_\br_\be_\bc_\bt_\bo_\br_\by with
     its original file-name.  If the target file already exists,
     it is overwritten.

     The mode is set to 755; the -\b-m\bm option may be used to specify
     an alternate mode.

     The -\b-o\bo and -\b-g\bg options may be used to specify an owner and/or
     group, respectively.

     The -\b-s\bs option causes the file to be stripped.  It is an
     error to attempt to strip a file not in the _\ba._\bo_\bu_\bt format,
     but not to attempt to strip a file that has already been
     stripped.

     _\bI_\bn_\bs_\bt_\ba_\bl_\bl refuses to move a file onto itself.

     Installing ``/dev/null'' creates an empty file.
