NAME
  installbsd - Installs a command (BSD version)

SYNOPSIS
  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
  -c  Copies file to destination rather than moving it.

  -g group
      Specifies a group for the destination file.  The default group is
      staff.

  -m mode
      Specifies the mode of the destination file.  The default mode is 755.

  -o owner
      Specifies the owner of the destination file.  The default owner is
      root.

  -s  Causes the binary file to be stripped after installation (see
      strip(1)).

DESCRIPTION
  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
  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.

SEE ALSO
  Commands:  chgrp(1), chmod(1), chown(1), cp(1), install(1), make(1), mv(1),
  strip(1)
