      INSTALL(8)              GENIX Programmer's Manual              INSTALL(8)



      NAME
           install - install system software

      SYNOPSIS
           install [ -m ] [ -r ] [ -s ] [ -x ] file1 file2

           install [ -m ] [ -r ] [ -s ] [ -x ] file ... directory

      DESCRIPTION
           Install copies file1 to file2.

           In the second form, one or more files are copied  to  the  directory
           with their original file names.

           Install is normally used in  the  install  rule  of  a  makefile  to
           release programs and related files to their appropriate directories.

           Options:

           -m   moves the source file(s) instead of copying them.

           -r   runs ranlib(1) on the destination file.  This  is  useful  when
                installing a library file like libc.a.

           -s   runs strip(1) on the destination  file  to  remove  unnecessary
                symbols.  Most installed programs should be stripped this way.

           -x   removes any extension from the source file name to produce  the
                destination file name.

      CROSS SUPPORT
           In a cross support environment, install is called minstall.
