NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       installbsd - Installs a command (BSD version)

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       installbsd [-cs] [-g group] [-m mode] [-o owner] file destination


       The installbsd command moves or copies a  binary  file  to
       the  specified  destination file or directory.  It is most
       often used in makefiles.

OPTIONS    [Toc]    [Back]

       Copies file to destination rather than moving it.   Specifies
  a group for the destination file.  The default group
       is staff.  Specifies the mode  of  the  destination  file.
       The  default mode is 755.  Specifies the owner of the destination
 file.  The default owner  is  root.   Causes  the
       binary   file  to  be  stripped  after  installation  (see
       strip(1)).

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       If destination is a file and such a file  already  exists,
       installbsd  removes it before file is moved or copied.  If
       destination is a directory, file is moved or  copied  into
       that  directory  with  its  original filename.  installbsd
       will not move a file onto itself.

EXAMPLES    [Toc]    [Back]

       To install a new command called fixit,  enter:  installbsd
       -c -o henry fixit /usr/bin

       This  installs  a new command by copying the program fixit
       to /usr/bin/fixit, with user henry as owner.
